Trying to stay (+), so here's my funny face to make us smile
I'm feeling kinda blue today and I know a pic parade always makes me smile. Here is one of Cristian's 'new' faces (he has a LOT of them lately, Mr. Personality). I call this one his "Zoolander" look
 Anyone else? Anything...any theme, just want to see the kiddos and SMILE today

Instead of a Princess I have a warrior
This is my little warrior... She loves sword fights and her $1 bow and arrow :-)
I know it is silly but it makes me smile! Last edited by Slatond10 : 07-30-2009 at 07:57 AM.

YESSSS...I'm not sure where to start. I've been around with our s/w, the USCIS, and our atty since last week. One minute we're on  the next, we're literally trying to find a loophole to see how we can continue at all; it just does not stop. Today we had another small miracle, but miracle nonetheless. The USCIS in L'ville has been very helpful so far and Friday we go to be RE-fingerprinted. We're also having to do yet another h/s update (3rd one in 2 yrs? I'm losing count), but we have to do that in order to keep our I-171h current. They are not even processing the new I-800's for Guatemala yet (which replaced the I-600's). Long story, but we had to wait until we got the word from our atty of proceeding Guat-side (again), which came last week; then at that point, contacting our s/w U.S. side only to find out yes indeed the prints had expired (we were told in October she would do the extension and she did not; another long story); anyway our I-171h exps 2/25/09, so I'm on a mission now to get the world's fastest h/s update done. If the I-171h lapses, it's OVER. Period. The h/s worker argued me on this and said we could not submit an update prior to the expiration (and therefore couldn't request the extension from USCIS) until AFTER the deadline, which would have nullified our clearance and thus, ended our adoption. I pushed (and pushed some more), and the s/w agreed to "double check" with USCIS and sure enough, had we waited (and followed her advice), then yes, it would've been too late. Instead of an apology, I got a "it's a miracle" email back, and a "go for it" from her. Yeah, ya think? We've been fighting for this boy, I mean FIGHTING with someone for him constantly since we began 15 mts ago. Sorry, that was the short version. If I've confused you just ask

Sorry... I forgot to say in my last post that I'm so sorry about everything you are going through. It is so senseless that you should have to fight so hard for something that shouldn't even have to be fought about at all. ((( hugs )))
