Trick or Treat

I should have known that the Consulate would have another trick up their sleeve. If this isn't true red tape then I don't know what is. The good news is is that we have Falancia's visa. Bad news, we don't have Jiovenda's or Sivencia's. They want us to fill out individual I-864A forms for each girl. This has never been requested before, again we are the trend setters. And let me tell you why this has never been requested before and shouldn't be requested now. I wish I could cut and paste this portion of the form to show you. The form has a place to list up to five children. It also has two blanks where you need to fill in how many children you are intending to immigrate. Now by filling out two additional forms, we are providing the same exact information in triplicate. Have you ever heard of a copy machine!!!

So I ran around in the rain today, getting Brian to sign the form and then sending the forms DSL to Haiti. Then the real kick in the stomach came when she told me it would cost over $60 to send the forms. I love our government, it is the greatest in the world, but Lord have Mercy!!! Hope we are here to vote in November!

We hope these forms get there by the middle of next week. Then who knows what else after that.

Again, thanks for your prayers!
Have a great weekend!

Oh my goodness, this is too much- seriously, who should I write a letter to? Pete Hoekstra? Barack Obama? John McCain? Condeleeza Rice?
