I've been NOT SO PATIENTLY waiting for the FBI to send us the appropriate documents so that we can officially be cleared to adopt.

I contacted the agency yesterday and she emailed me back today. Apparently the FBI is super backed up and it is going to take 10 weeks!!!

They cannot start the search for Brewer without FBI clearance, so that means they can't start looking for our little guy until probably APRIL

I'm so bummed about this!! She gave me a number to call, so I'm going to call tomorrow and see if I can encourage them to speed things up!!!

Brandi, I am sorry! How frustrating!!! I hope that you are able to get the clearance faster than what they estimate!!!

I hope you light a fire under the butts with that phone call!!!
