A Small Hiccup

Two days ago, I was working on background checks for our home study.  I completed them all except the Ohio one that requires me to go to Ohio and be fingerprinted.  Such a hassle, but a necessity.  I am still trying to figure out why, in this world we live in, it is not possible to do ONE background check that covers the whole world.  With all the technology we have, why can't you be fingerprinted and then do a background check and pay one fee instead of a bunch of little fees?  It is very time consuming and annoying.

Anyway, being that my husband was born and raised in Argentina and did not move back to the States until he was 19, we are in need of a background check from Argentina.  Well, yesterday, my father-in-law headed to the police department in Padua only to find out that Scott must be present to be fingerprinted.  Then, it will take 90 days for the results.

Hmm...

Well, we aren't planning to make a trip to Argentina anytime soon and it certainly isn't in the budget for Scott to go, so we have to figure out what to do. 

After a quick call and email to the agency, it has been suggested that we get an affidavit.  I'm really not sure what it all entails or if it will be acceptable to the Honduran Government, but we will continue to pray.  We believe that God has called us to adopt and His plan is better than ours.  I am excited for God, to once again, show that He is in this and He is guiding us every step of the way. 

This journey is full of "God stories".  There is no doubt in my mind that the children that become our children are ours and were meant for us from the beginning.  We have the stories to go with Trent's adoption and we will have them for these little ones. 

So, we are asking you to pray with us.  Pray that this will just be a small hiccup in the process and we will be able to move forward and bring our babies home soon!
