A family isn't determined by who is or isn't in it, or how it came to be, but by the bond that is created by the love that is shared.

Still scrambling

My dossier updates and travel docs are just not coming together as quickly as I had hoped. The homestudy update was turned around within a week, but it is WRONG! Have to get that straightened out today. Then I majorly messed up and forgot to put "FOR INTERNATIONAL ADOPTION" on my FBI fingerprint clearance request envelope, so unless I resend (money, time, money) I probably won't see it for at least another 2 weeks. Think I'll have to resubmit. I'm a moron. This is only the 3rd time I've had the FBI thing done, not like I didn't know, just in a hurry. Sigh. No doubt I'm cutting it very close, given everything still has to be apostilled and not all in this state. Little panicky voice in my head these days.

And to add to my list of things with bad timing? Got a jury summons for April 1st.

I had a jury summons just before my little one was adopted last summer. It is actually a blessing in disguise since you get it over before having a baby. I found out in GA that if you work, being the sole parent of a child won't get you out of anything. At least this way, I had jury duty over and now have at least 18 months before being called again.
