More delays :(

Hi Everyone,
We received the following frustrating e-mail today:

The embassy decided that since they will be short-staffed next week, they will not be processing adoption cases (ex. Issuing pink slips). This means that you need to add a week into the time frame.

Also – the first family received their second DNA test back. It looks like the fee to have that processed is $175. I hope there will no other fees added in- but I can’t say for sure. I just wanted to pass on the latest news.

It is certainly disappointing that the embassy is not processing this week…. Hang in there.

Wonderful, more waiting for such a dumb reason, what is wrong with the US Embassy, when they do not have enough staff? I plan on contacting our local Senator, to tell him what I think about this issue. I cried all the way home I cannot handle another delay. Please pray that the US Embassy will get there act together so Cameron can come home.

Amos-

I can't believe it. This has to be THE most retarded reason for a delay. I am crying with you, just remember, he will not know what to do with all the love he will get when he gets here. Thinking of you and Brian.

If you contact the senator, and complain to the State Dept. you may get something done. That's what we ended up doing when we were stuck in GC--someone actually called me back PERSONALLY. Email me if you want more info!
