Hey, Wait a Minute Mr. Postman...

Where is our *%^@ fingerprinting invitation? Everyday, I check the mailbox with such high hopes, and find nothing but bills and junk mail. It's been over three weeks since we sent the I-600A - why can't immigration just humor us and send us the date and time to show up? That's all I'm asking for! At this rate, they will have our homestudy before we've even received the fingerprinting invitation, making the process even longer. I'm really trying to be patient...really I am. I am so tired of not having any control over when we will get to be parents. Why does creating a family have to be so difficult for some of us and so easy for others? One thing I've learned through all of this is just how badly we want to be parents. I don't think anyone would go through years of infertility, miscarriage and jump through the hoops of adoption if they weren't dedicated to their future child. At times, I feel as if we're being tested to see just how bad we want this. I can't decide if we're passing or failing that test.

Okay, rant over.
