Speed bump

Or maybe it should be called a sluggishness bump. It's not like we were moving at break neck pace.. but we've hit a speed bump.  I'm incredibly frustrated about it. Not because it's that big of a deal but I just can't stand it when people don't do their jobs.

So we were supposed to get our notarized copies of our homestudy yesterday or today.  But then I got an email from our agency yesterday morning stating they don't have documentation that we completed additional hours of pre-adopt training that China now requires.  Hmm. Of course you don't have said documentation because we haven't done additional training.  Because nobody told us we were required to damn it.  I sent a reply explaining that we weren't aware of additional requirements and that we're happy to complete them if we can be pointed in the right direction.  Half an hour later we get an email from another person at our agency that begins with "As you know, China now requires 12 hours of training, blah, blah, blah."  As we know?  Really?  Well, we do now but only because someone else told us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have known because YOU forgot to tell us.  They're going to go ahead and finalize our homestudy as this China paperwork blip can be taken care of between now and when we send our dossier to China.

The good news is that we found out that we can do the training on line.  Whew!  So we'll spend our long weekend doing on line classes and filling out our I-800A application to perfection.  Awesome.

Enjoy the long weekend, or ski week, or whatever it is you are doing to honor George Washington's birthday. Wink wink!
