No More Freaking Out

My case manager told me that nowadays a copy is fine. Thank you God for answered prayer!!

Back to the waiting for TA....

Freaked Out!

Ok, so I am going through all of my documents tonight--getting things ready as I wait for TA (travel approval). In fact, I learned today that 2 people (with my same dates) received TA Friday! That is TA in only 5 days! Surely, I am next!

So, back to my reason for this post...

As I am gathering documents, I notice that I do NOT have an original document that I need to take to China. I only have COPIES of this document! This is NOT good. I am to take the original to China, but I must have mailed that original to one of the many places I have sent docs to. I am so confused right now. I tore this house apart looking for one piece of paper!! Now, I need to mention that I am normally meticulous about filing these important papers! You've seen the file box! I've posted pictures on here proving my diligence in methodically keeping these records safe! But if I am being perfectly honest, I can remember a nagging thought throughout the last month reminding me to check on that original. My guess is, I was too filled with pride in my filing expertise that I ignored the nagging thought entirely. So here I am, sitting on my bed, unable to sleep at almost 1 am!

Those of you that know me, know I have some issues with anxiety anyway. Let me tell you...this takes the cake! Thankfully, I have a group of very SUPPORTIVE adoptive moms praying for me! They tell me to relax. To breathe and trust God. This is hard for me to wrap my hard head around. So please...if you are reading this...please stop and say a little prayer that this is resolved quickly! I really covet your prayers! I read on the USCIS website that in order to obtain a duplicate, I will have to pay another $670 fee. Please Lord, let this NOT be the case!!!

All because of my stupidity!! Grrr......**BIG SIGH**
