POLITICS AND PAPERWORK

We sent our 28 dossier documents to the WI Secretary of State on 8-6.  I called on 8-14 to check on the status of that paperwork.  The woman told me because I called she would move our paperwork from the stack to be done in 10 days to the stack that will be done in 4 days.  

Our Secretary of State's office just faced a major budget cut, so their services have also been cut.  They use to offer same day service.  Since that is no longer available, we have to rely on the mail-in service.  Through some research, I found out besides the Secretary himself, there is only other full-time employee in the office.  

Knowing all that, its a really good thing that we got moved up from 10 days to 4 days.  

Now just trusting the Lord to work through this less than ideal combination of politics and paperwork!  

In another adoptive family's blog, they called this a paper pregnancy.  That is a great and funny way to describe this process.
