Need a gripe moment

We went into this adoption process DETERMINED to be organized and efficient. We have been. By April 19, all of our paperwork was finished. By April 20, all of it was out. All we had left was some documentation about our time in adoption education, etc. That is an on-going process, so no biggie. We thought we were set.

We forgot that Frankfort has goals that are in direct opposition to ours.

While one department has been fairly on-the-ball--with the exception of Bart's documentation--the rest are sitting on our paperwork for whatever purposes they may have. My main concern is that the people are not the ones sitting on it, but rather they have given our paperwork to their birds or cats or gerbils or whatever to "sit" on. You have to wonder if these folks run out of newspaper sometimes and they decide to use your documents as liners. I deal with Frankfort enough at school to realize that they really don't have a clue. That being said, the proposed scenario is not out of the question.

Anyway, now our March-April dates seem to be passing quickly from us and we're dangerously close to a May travel date.

Oh, Sir Isaac Newton, why did you have to be so correct?
