From the moment I looked into her big beautiful brown eyes, she was my daughter. We had been chosen and were blessed beyond measure to be privileged to call ourselves her mother and father. There wasn’t a sweeter moment than the moment I first held her in my arms and starred at her. Her perfect skin, her button nose and those lips. How I loved them…
But I knew it would be months until she was “officially” a member of our family. We had heard around 6 months because we had to turn in a 5 month medical report, well Faith is 6 months and we just found out we are again pushed back in terms of finalization.
No ones fault really. We are blessed with an obvious amazing legal team, no hold ups on our birth families end they have been angels, even our CA Social Worker loves us and has up at the top of our list of reports to complete. But the F.B.I. hasn’t accepted my finger prints. Not because I have anything on me ! ( I know you were all thinking that ;) But because of this…Remember that post on being real? Well yeah my left hand is so real I can;t get valid prints that are approved by the FBI so I have to go do them again…wait…then file for a name check since the prints won’t be accepted…wait some more…get approved…then wait ( for the report to be done) then legal team will file the paper work with the court house and then … you guessed it wait some more until we get a court date…
I am sick of waiting though. Our whole journey to Faith has been one wait after another after another. And this most recent set back has really irked me for some reason.
I’m just ready… ready for it all to be final…to be a FOREVER FAMILY and then…start the process all over again.

Geesh! That would be irksome! I'm hoping everything goes through this time and your family will officially be official! :) Even though I can tell through your blog that there is no denying your guys are already a forever family! xoxo
what is it with Cali and fingerprints! That was our BIGGEST issue with Mist's adoption and that was 6 years ago!! It was unreal. It was the biggest ordeal!
Praying that the government surprises you and works quickly so you can finalize everything. But you are already a forever family and this is merely a formality.
Sorry for all the frustration. I really hope they can get it all straightened out soon so your family can begin the next chapter.
I know how much you want this day to come. Just like you, I didn't need a court to tell me I was my daughter's mother but still...finalization is the last hoop that we have to jumpr through, the last breath that we have been holding in for all these months, to finally be let out. For us to breathe freely...at last. Prayers and more prayers that the court date will be set sooner rather than later! Much love my friend!
I don't blame you at all for wanting it to be over. To be finalized. I mean you've been so patient already. I can only imagine how you must feel. Hopefully they can get some good finger prints and get on with it already.
How frustrating! Praying all the necessary approvals come through quickly.
wow so sorry to hear about the wait but I hope that after that things will speed up and it will all be official!
