I am a little behind in posting this week with updates. It has been very crazy trying to complete the last of our paperwork. We did receive our FBI clearances and had them notarized today( Thank you Carol, our faithful friend and neighbor who has helped us notarize too many papers to count now). Our home study update is finished and we should have that paperwork by Fri. ready for apostilling.
We have had some serious problems completing our medical paperwork...it seemed simple enough since we are all in excellent health but that seems to be the problem?? Proving yourself well means having lots of unnecessary tests repeated which were already done last year. At that time we had never been tested (no cause to be), but the Dr. needed to be sure for the purpose of signing off on the paperwork. What was unforeseen for us this time was the refusal to sign off on a simple update that we are still in good health and nothing had changed. Well let's say it wasn't quite so simple, therefore much time and insurance dollars had to be wasted on tests that normally aren't requested for physicals, all to arrive at the same answer...negative!!!
Our agency has been trying to work around this so we do not lose precious time and delay our court date. So, we were off to the lab today to have blood drawn for tests again. The ladies at the lab were very nice and even remembered us from last year. They asked if we would bring the kids by some time after we brought them home so they could meet them and were so helpful! PTL, it was a refreshing experience from what we have been through in the last week. We are praying the test results will be back by Fri. so we can get those results to our Dr. to fill out paperwork again and have it notarized again so we can take it to Austin next week for apostilling. We are praying that we have no further complications in having the paperwork completed correctly and quickly. We greatly appreciate your prayers on this, David and I both have spent everyday for over a week now either on the phone with the Dr.'s office or in the Dr.'s office or lab, trying to get this completed correctly. We know that all things have a purpose, we pray that we can complete this medical paperwork with grace, humility and a grateful attitude amongst our frustration with an impersonal, overburdened system. Most of all we're grateful to the Lord that He has blessed our family with health. This too-close-to-socialist system is difficult enough for healthy people.
