Ok so for those of you up on your adoption lingo....we are having serious CIS issues!! UGH!!!

For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, lets just say that CIS holds the keys to Lincoln coming home and we are truly frustrated.

Now that said, I have to say, that this time it is our faults. We sent in the i600 a month ago....and we misplaced a signature. So a week later we got it back, signed it, and sent it back. Hoping and praying that we did it right.

Then yesterday's mail came, and yes folks, my heart truly skipped a beat when I saw a large package from Memphis. Again they sent it back wanting another signature, this time mine...which is a little confusing because really all they need is Ben's but whatever...I will do anything...so my signature I signed and back in the mail.

On top of all of this the Memphis office is notoriously slow!! And by slow I mean a good time frame for them is 8 weeks for approval...so now...we have to wait more, when I already thought that 4 weeks had come and gone. Reality...we have to start all over from this week. So that means that my baby boy will likely not be home for a long time! UGH!!!

So as confusing for all of you out there as this post maybe...or for those of you who have been there done that please send a record amount of prayers and good thoughts our way concerning Lincoln's paperwork in Memphis office. We are really hoping for a miracle!

As far as we know at this point...the paperwork arrived in the Memphis office, again, at 830 this morning. Let's just hope that it is all right and ready for processing!!

I feel for you Kelly!! We are coming up on 8 weeks for our I-600 at the OKC office! (Our first one was approved in 8 days!) Praying that you guys get moved up anyway because you were already in the system when they sent it back to you!
