Lightening Does Strike Twice......

I'm quoting Grace on that. So here is the deal.... We did not leave for Ethiopia today. Grace called this morning and according to some medical record (not sure who's) my child is 33 months old. Not 20. He turns 3 in August some time. Riiiiiiiiiiiight.
It is the same exact issue that we had with Ben except this time I am here to call and deal with it myself. My homestudy says I can adopt a 3 to 24 month old or a 3 to 11 year old. There is a 12 month gap that we thought would never be a problem because he was 6 months old in February of 2008. That would make him 20 or 21 months now. Just to be sure I had a second addendum written up covering me up to 48 months. The only problem is I didn't get it through USCIS and NVC earlier this week because I thought if there happened to be a problem I could hand deliver it this week. No such luck.
So as it stands I may leave in 2 weeks, I may leave Monday. I don't know right now.
Grace, again, I am sorry for my meltdown this morning. You are a great lady and I never wanted to be the one to make your job harder. You have enough of that to deal with without me adding to the cause. Thanks for being a good friend and taking it all in stride.
Heather you are an angel, the BEST SOCIAL WORKER KNOWN TO MAN!! This sweet woman sat outside Dallas USCIS refusing to leave until she was able to speak to someone and get the ball rolling for me. AND IT WORKED! I am in tears just thinking of how amazing that is. Above and beyond. What a remarkable person you are! If we are able to leave Monday it will be entirely because of you.
So the wait continues. We will keep you posted.
