Memo update.... UGHHHHHH
 This **** will never end.. I just know it.... We got a report from our agency. They didn't get his paperwork turned into the Embassy today. We offered to pay extra to get someone in line yesterday afternoon.. But nope.. They had a number but it wasn't low enough to get in today. This is just making me sick.... Tomorrow is a holiday, so they will TRY again on Wednesday..... Sorry to keep you all hanging... Why I had a stupid idea that this part might go smoothly is beyond me. Thanks for your support and prayers.....

Suzanne, big hugs to all of you!
You deserve a medal of honor for all of your patience. I sure wish I could do something to make this go faster for you, but except for prayer (LOTS), I am at a loss. I am sorry, and I know you are probably so sick of hearing that! (No more apologies, just give you Memo, right?) Fingers crossed for a big day Wednesday! Julie

Hi Suzanne..... I just popped over from the Russian board, and have followed your quest to bring Memo HOME!!! I share your frustration and just wanted to say, HANG IN THERE! you are soooo close to the finish line, and Memo is COMING HOME!!! One thing that I had to learn (a very difficult lesson for me) is that this process is "NOT ON OUR TIME LINE/SCHEDULE" it is on theirs!!! Russia is too very slow, and alot of hold-ups etc., but now having my DD home 18+ months..... The WAIT IS sooooo worth it!!!
Blessings, and prayers being sent straight up for your Memo and the process!!!!

I have an idea...what if we all tell our agencies, attorneys, facilitators, etc, that we want MEMO to go first! So, Suzanne and Mark's people will just have to march up to the front of the line and say "I have MEMO's paperwork"...surely everyone would understand. Think it would work? I wish I could make it happen!!!
