Okay so I like to be in control of my situations. I like to be able to fix a problem if there is one and I am a HUGE planner. I like to have things planned out very far in advance. However pretty much everything about adoption goes against that. I'm sure that God in his infinite wisdom knew I would have to force myself to let go of this need for control during this adoption process. Some days I do great and some days I have to pray a lot to let it go.
The latest part I have no control over is the I800-A form. For those not familiar with adoptions it's basically our permission from the US government to travel oversees and adopt. It's only one part of the process but it's the first part. We received a request for more evidence from the government about 2 weeks ago. I got a call from Holt before I even got it in the mail telling me not to panic it is normal. So I called UCIS (govt. agency handling our form) and they said the wording wasn't correct in my home study. So I called our home study agent and she tells me it is in there they just aren't looking at the right page. So she took my UCIS agents number and said she would call them. That was last week.... I have tried calling both places to see what is going on and I haven't been able to contact anyone. I got an email from our home study agent earlier in the week saying she was still working on it but hadn't been able to make any progress yet. It's so frustrating to not be able to do anything. I am literally waiting for someone, really anyone with one of the places to call and tell me what to do next.
So I ask for prayer that this would be fixed quickly since as with everything with adoption there is a deadline that this has to be done by. Also pray for me this is only the beginning of MANY areas I won't have control over and I am learning but I still need prayer.
