That will help me so much when we travel. Thanks for sharing your story. It's been encouraging to me.

We are earlier in the process, but just having our first visit to AUBE in Oct. and returning again next weekend, it's good to hear your impression and see how you navigated the experience. I'm soaked with tears after reading your entire story. We saw Christina in October- she is beautiful little girl. I am so so happy she is home. My heart aches for the completion of our own story and yet, even as I read yours, I am encouraged by the little miracles along your journey. He is El Roi- the God who Sees. He is sovereign and in control...so we surrender and trust him. May Christina's little heart heal quickly, may she develop trust and security and understand in the depth of her being that she is home. Many blessings to you!!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09158428398746166992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603658150510592773.post-22347902640707641682013-01-09T09:40:11.481-08:002013-01-09T09:40:11.481-08:00That is a good question... according to our agency...That is a good question... according to our agency, if a Senator (or anyone higher up, for that matter) gets involved, the government workers will take your case our of order, look it over to see what is going on (to see why there is a hold-up) and then if everything looks good put it back in the case pile, but at that point you can lose your place in the pile, making the wait possibly longer. Unless there is a true issue-- something serious, like missing signature, paperwork, etc, with your case (ours was not really a true issue, we just wanted to speed up the process) it is best not to involve someone who might just muddy the waters, so to speak... and it can get really messy if the workers get in "trouble" from the higher ups, then suddenly your case can take even longer.Corinne Baurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03790746775577107121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603658150510592773.post-70783364212888400792013-01-09T09:39:47.081-08:002013-01-09T09:39:47.081-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Corinne Baurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03790746775577107121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603658150510592773.post-26026230815906817142013-01-09T06:27:38.167-08:002013-01-09T06:27:38.167-08:00You stated that getting a US Senator involved can ...You stated that getting a US Senator involved can actually slow down the adoption process....why is that?ahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06957046858918794727noreply@blogger.com
