Let It Go!  Let It Go! Well, here we are, still waiting for our child abuse background letters to be processed and sent to our placing agency.  Sigh.  I am officially letting go any hopes of getting our dossier submitted before the holidays.  Our fingerprint appointment yesterday went smoothly though.  I expected long lines and a big headache, but it was actually very smooth and very streamlined.  So, now I am just trying to relax, finish up Christmas shopping and preparations, and enjoy the season.  We'll get back on track with this adoption in early January, hopefully.  So annoying because we just needed one person to do their job.  One person and we would have had everything submitted weeks ago.  Maybe I should ask Santa for our child abuse letters!  Also, as we're looking ahead to the summer now, it's hard to make concrete plans since we don't know if we'll be in Majuro or not before the summer.  Deep breaths.  I think that all these delays and frustrations are the system's way of preparing us for delays and frustrations while in country.  Happy Holidays, blogging world.
