Just a quick update because it's past my bedtime and tomorrow morning is going to be our first day back to normal after a 2 week vacation so it's going to be rough enough without me being exhausted on top of everything else.
I got an email 2 days ago (I can't believe I put off updating this for that long!) that Crescent Moon is requesting a local police clearance from the US. The agency is checking on more specifics as to whether it matters if it's from our home towns or whether it needs to be from the city we were living in just before we moved to Germany. Frankly, I'm not sure why Crescent Moon needs anything at all because they are all outdated and we went to a LOT of work and expense to provide them with German police clearances! I'm guessing they have a checklist and a German police clearance won't let them check the little box next to US police clearance or something equally dumb. I'm not actually all that frustrated that Crescent Moon wants this. I've sort of reached a point of being almost numb. You want more paperwork? Fine, here you go. But, I am getting incredibly frustrated at knowing that something needs done, but not knowing exactly WHAT needs done so that I can work on getting someone to help me get it done! If there's one thing that stresses me out more than anything, it's that! When something needs done, I want to get it done ASAP, not wait around for someone to eventually figure out what exactly that thing is while we're powerless to actually act on it yet! And the worst thing is that I can't call them until tomorrow night (day there) because they've both had the weekend off. When I call, I get great answers and reassurance and it's all great, but emails go vaguely answered and then take another day or 2 to get a clearer response, etc. I guess this just goes along with the rest of our adoption process so far....taking as long as it possibly can and having several delays along the way. :-\
