Lilypie Waiting to adopt Ticker

Monday, October 22, 2007

Not a happy post . . . .

I was traumatized this weekend. We had our fingerprinting appointment with the FBI.

I will write more later, but if anyone reading this blog is just starting out on the adoption process, do yourself a favor . . . . . .

Don't believe all the horror stories you read about. And that means with ANY portion of the adoption process. Suffice it to say that I got so upset at a series of events on Saturday, that I am still in tears about what happened and how I reacted today. The part that is most horrible??? The horror stories I've read didn't come to fruition, but my fears surrounding them are what caused me the most heartache.

I want to go into more detail about what happened when I can do it without clenching my teeth and without the alligator tears in my eyes.

End result . . . . everything is ok now . . . . . no thanks to all the "panic buttons" that got pushed.
