OOPS-we jumped the gun

As you probably have seen, in the world of adoption things move pretty slow. So, with that in mind Joe and I had seen that our fingerprints and immigration forms were expiring on Nov 2nd so being the organzied, worriers that we (well I) are we decided to reapply in August thinking it would take months to get it done. Nope, lightening speed!!!! That fingerprint appointment came quick and this weekend our new immigration form came in the mail. So, we basically "screwed" ourselves over by two months. And two months in the adoption world can be like years.
We were so afraid that there would be a glitch and it couldn't expire (as now we need it twice) that we panicked and did it way to early. It's good for 18 months so will we have to do it again? We just don't know. Oh well, better safe than sorry.
Someday we'll be able to relax again!! Someday when we see those sweet faces. Until then we'll continue to keep track of all this paperwork and get things done lickety split!!! Two months we could have used on the other end. Oh well, you live and you learn.
