This is the day....

"This is the day that the Lord hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."

Well, today we took Bethany to get her paperwork figured out. I am so glad we don't have to travel hours and hours away like in some countries, but stupid issues, we have them here too.

First, the volunteers there were instisting on speaking English with me and didn't look happy when I was like "WHAT? you need 6 copies of the passport?" She was like NO!! print....she was TRYING to say xerox copy but it was not sounding like that!!

Then Bethany takes all her paperwork out (that she thought she left in the USA but found it here!!) and Mr. Chen, head of something at Foreign Affairs was like "oh, do you know Hillary Clinton? she needs to sign your paper, this no have her sign." He was trying to be funny in an unfunny way meaning, Secretary of State signature. YEAH! they NOW say that, oh, she needs to have her fingerprints checked by FBI. -.-  never a dull moment here.......poor Bethany.......I wanted to cry for her. SO I will be up at AIT tomorrow with a momma (birth mom interview)  and ask them about it or if they have the forms or whatever. So totally annoying!

So, then Alexia comes back this afternoon. Had two phone calls that were rather, um, not unpleasant, just like "is everyone in a high position here on drugs?!" (ok, that was very unChristian like, but sometimes you wonder!). First, the form we were given to refill out about how many moms we have had here the past three months, we did. We filled it out according to what they gave us.......well, it wasn't what they WANTED.  They also gave out the wrong email, so we can't just get the exact form they wanted.......are you confused? I am!! Last week they sent us paperwork saying they redid the form, we copied that as they wrote it because they never emailed their form to us. We did the paperwork and took it over, now they say it is not the right format.......seriously wonder if they are trying to cause problems here (wouldn't be suprised!)

THEN the paperwork for our association... get this......we have to have "stand by" for our committee members so if something tragic happens and we need a replacement, then we have one. Well, we were informed that we had two on standby and there could only be one -.- so we had like 30min to redo that paper with one persons name on it, not two.....thank the Lord Alexia keeps good paperwork trails. She was on it and did it right away!!WOOHOOO!!!!!

But this is how my day has been......how was yours? :-)
