As an LSU Tiger, I love Louisiana - love the people, the culture, the food, the music, the school, the food... not loving the Louisiana background check run around they have me on!! I know that God's hand is in everything and it will be His perfect timing for everything to come together but I am worried and being impatient. As little time as we've even spent on this journey, I know this is just the start of a long wait but I can always ask for your prayers to help us along the way!
Here is the update on LA - After sending in my request the second time, I called August 10th and they said it would be 7-10 more business days to process. This week would've been the week so I called to followup again yesterday. The lady didn't seem to have any information at hand so she asked to call me back. I was concerned that there wasn't something in the system right there for her to tell me. So I waited until 4 p.m. but decided to be persistant and call back. She had forgotten and quickly got information to me after consulting with someone else. She told me that the results had been sent to Lutheran on August 6th (I called August 10th and wish they would've told me that then!) I called Lutheran and they never got it so called LA back and they said they would send a copy - not an original. One more call and Lutheran said a copy would be fine. This is the only piece of paperwork we have been waiting on to complete our homestudy that we started back in May.
Our home agency sent our homestudy this morning to AGCI for review in hopes that they would start the review process knowing that the LA paperwork is now on it's way.
All this to say, please pray that the LA background check gets to Lutheran this time around and that everything was done correctly. Pray that our AGCI review goes well so that everything can move along. We are still working hard on our dossier paperwork and training. Most of all, pray for us to be patient as we know this journey will go just they way God has planned it! As we get further along, we get more anxious to just see our little guy's face.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philipians 4:6
A 21 month old post is soon to come and I can't wait to share our pictures from our zoo trip three weeks ago!
Wow, how life has changed!

When I started reading this post.....I totally missed understood and I thought......what in the world could she have done at LSU that she is so worried about the background check? LOL........certainly not the sweet little Katherine we know and love! I hope all the troubles with the background check are in the background now!
I SO understand! We are right there, too. It's all on the verge of being DONE and yet there's still little things to wait on. The patience needed for this process is going to kill me. And we haven't even started the REAL WAITING. Ahh! We're expecting our homestudy for review any day. Then we can finally send our I-800A in and wait for our homestudy to be translated before our dossier can be sent off. *sigh* There's always something.
You can do it! Keep going one step at a time.
