I don't understand our government. I do not understand how some people are getting USCIS approval in a short time and others are not. I do not understand it all. I wonder why some people call their representatives or senators and receive help while others receive the run around. Don't get me wrong- it is great when someone gets their approval in a fast manner. That means one orphan closer to home. I just wonder why their voice was greater than others.
Ask my kids- I can be loud- my voice can be heard through my house. Yet nobody is hearing me on what means the most at this time. All I am asking is for someone to be assigned my file so we can get our fingerprint appt and get our approval. THAT is all I am waiting on. I called my US rep yesterday who said I would have a caseworker by the end of the day. I call the USCIS and I am in queue to be assigned yet. I call my senators who take my name, phone number but tell me they will give it to their worker and IF they need my USCIS file number, they will call me back. Now if they were going to work on it right away THAT would be an important number to have as it references our application. I would not be so freaked out if time is not on my side anymore. There are too many uncertainties coming up. I have busted my rear to get to this point and feel it is slipping out of my reach because my voice is unheard. Everyone tells me this is where my faith is suppose to kick in. I understand that in my head but it is my heart that is hurting. My heart is screaming out please someone help me.
I seriously stink at getting things accomplished. I have fought and begged so many in this process to understand how time is a factor yet it has not really mattered. I am not a fundraiser which is evident and I can deal with that.. that is on me. What is hard to deal with is my reaching my hand out for help with officials and coming up empty. Not because I didn't try but because my voice is not heard.
Well just typing it out makes me feel a bit better. I have not and will not give up. I will be calling and calling this afternoon till I get someone that hears me and helps me.
We lost another child from RR. I just do not understand why these children have to suffer. RIP "Lionel" forever with his true father who will never abandon him.
For those that might have missed Datelines story about the Boy from baby house 10 here is something for you to watch. This might explain and make you understand why we are doing what we can to save our son. (you might have to shut the music off on the bottom of blog)

Hang in there, Lisa. I wish I could hug you right now!! Then we would call those reps and raise a little..... ;)
ReplyDeleteAs an adoptive sister, I completely know what it's like.
ReplyDeleteAnd I know everyone says this, but I promise you, it will ALL be worth it once your son is home! We were told our adoption would take 6-9 months, and it was nearly two years. Yet, looking back, it doesn't matter, because now I have an incredible brother here with me.
Hope you have a great evening!
