A Colombian adoption story!

More Bad News

Apparently we got some incorrect information from the FBI when we called yesterday because according to FedEx this morning, the FBI does not accept packages on Saturday.

I tried calling the FBI this morning about it and it turns out they don't accept phone calls on Saturday either. Both facts that we were told otherwise about yesterday.

So this means that they won't get my fingerprint retakes until Monday. Meaning, for us to be able to go to Colombia as scheduled, they'll have to process them in a few days or less and then mail them back to us immediately. Not likely.

So it's looking like we'll be changing flights and plans (not at all cheap and not at all a good feeling). I know it'll all work out because it has to but talk about discouraging. My fears now are that even a third submission of prints will get rejected and I don't know what would happen then. We can't just keep rescheduling this trip. It's not like this is a dentist appointment or something.

We'll be talking to our adoption coordinator on Monday. Hopefully she'll be able to make us feel better about this.

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone!

Tim,

Here is a link I used when we needed our prints asap. http://annamarie08.blogspot.com/2008/02/note-about-background-checks.html
If you can't read it, send me an email. Ours were not rejected but this helped in finding out exactly where our prints were.

Before you change anything, wait until you talk to the FBI office. Did you send a prepaid Fed-Ex slip to have them sent back to you? If not is there a way to get them one now?

Thanks for the link Nicole, that gave us some very good tips!

Laura, we luckily did remember to include the fedex slip so they could send it back to us. We want to get these back ASAP and we'll have the Fedex charges to prove it!

nStacy,

Don't give up. When we went to look at our visa it had been cabled to the wrong city. After begging and pleading the Secretary of State Office got it taken care of immediately. Things do have a way of working out. Just keep in mind..you are so close to getting your little guy! Just hang on to that thought. We are thinking of you guys.
