FBI Fingerprints Rejected

My [current] worst fear came true today - my set of FBI fingerprints was rejected. Stacy's was OK - mine were not quality enough to read.

So I left work in a panic and we went to a different police station than last time to get them done. I got two copies made just so they have more to look at and we sent them FedEx overnight w/ Saturday delivery. Yes, the FBI processes prints on Saturday - 24x7 actually - so that's good. They should get them tomorrow morning. We used a red sharpie and marked ADOPTION / URGENT all over it so hopefully it gets some quick attention.

We need to have both of our cleared fingerprint reports in hand, cover letter notarized (trip to the bank), and then apostilled (trip to the Secretary of State) before we leave. We leave in 15 days so this could very easily become a problem. We can not under any circumstance go down there without this.

We may have to reschedule the trip which means requesting a new date from the Monteria ICBF office and then changing our flight reservations. The worst part of that is that someone has to go tell poor little Elkin that his new mami and papi won't be here when they said. We don't like the thought of disapointing him before he meets us.

Anyway - we'll keep you updated. Hopefully we'll hear something Monday or Tuesday.

My heart goes out to you guys -- this must be unreal for you right now. We'll be praying for quick turnaround on your new prints. I can't wait to hear about you getting there and wrapping little Elkin up in a world-class family bear hug RIGHT ON TIME!!! :)
