BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE

After reading a forum, I found that many Moms were calling the Embassy on their own to check the status of their pink slips. They were all getting appointments for Monday if their DNA was completed and they had been submitted to the Embassy. Hearing this I got really excited. Our social worker had told us our DNA had been completed last thursday and that we were submitted to the Embassy on Monday. I called today only to find out we had been submitted, but not until yesterday. Then the lady told me that she did not have the results to our DNA test and I would need to check back. Ok at this point I was disappointed, but thought I'll try back Monday.

After getting off the phone with her I decided I had better double check that the DNA was actually done. I called Lab-core and talked to a very nice lady who told me the 2nd DNA test had not yet be completed and I had to pay if I even wanted an appointment. I knew we had to pay, but I figured we would get a bill from our agency when they needed the money. I am heart broken, I put my trust in these people and within a week I have found out they have given me false information three times. We have entered in on good faith this organization and would like honest accurate information from them.

I am tired, stress, and don't think I can handle much more of this.

I am so glad you were prompted to make some phone calls! It is disappointing, but there is something you can DO to help get that sweet boy home! You know I am praying for you guys! So many good moments to come and moments to look back on and see how God used them in your lives! Hang in there!

Hugs!

Are you sure SD uses labcore? I'm thinking they don't. I could be wrong though.

It seems to be the trend lately to get wrong information. I think you are the 4th person including me that has had to deal with this. It is unexceptable. Our babies are blessed to have such proactive parents who want nothing more than to bring them home as soon as possible.

Hng in there, you are doing a great job advocating for your beautiful baby!

Where can I find the forum that you were reading?

Your with SD, right?? I am not in the least surprised!!!!

It's unfortunate, that seems to be completely NORMAL for them. I have a file a MILE HIGH on them!

Thankfully you're at the end of your process...you DO know that to be true!
