HARD

This waiting is so hard. I mentioned in a post in March that we had emailed the immigration office handling our paperwork and they had said that the next day they would be sending out a request for more information. That was a disappointment to us since we knew that would drag the process out longer. We got that email on a Thursday the 25th. The form should have been mailed Friday the 26th. That obviously didn't happen because we still have nothing. All of our attempts to reach them last week were met with no response. We finally emailed them again on Monday to find out that the woman handling our paperwork was out all week last week and they would let us know as soon as they heard from her regarding the status of our paperwork and whether or not they ever did send the request for more information. Every day we have gone to the mailbox waiting and wondering and it is so extremely frustrating. By the time we get that request we still have to gather whatever information they need and send it back just to start waiting again for our approval. We have a friend who knows a congressman. He is going to see if he can get some action over there on our behalf. Unfortunately the friend keeps reminding us that with all of this healthcare stuff right now the congressmen are up to their ears in work and he may not be able to help. I want so badly to knock on their door and say "HELLLLLOOOOO....do you not see that my girl needs her family?" But I don't, I just continue to wait and trust that God is STILL in control even when it isn't happening like I'd hoped it would!
