So so *SO* frustrated!

Ugh! I am SO frustrated with Aspen's adoption process...we got a letter from the judge in the mail on Monday saying there were some things that were not submitted in our file....funny thing is this letter was dated December 19....not mailed until January 11! AND....the court clerk told our attorney on Dec 21 that our file hadn't even been looked at and wouldn't be looked at for 2 or 3 more weeks....well, obviously they gave her wrong information!!! Anyway, so I called our attorney and she didn't received that same letter we got...why, you might ask? Because the court clerk thought we didn't have an attorney and so they sent it to us! Which is so interesting because the lawyer's name is everywhere on the paperwork. So....anyway, because the laws are different where Aspen was born and they have different paperwork than Colorado, the judge here went ahead and said we can't finalize without Colorado paperwork....so the attny has to put together MORE paperwork (which of course costs us a million and a half dollars per hour that she works) and submit it to the courts. So who knows how long that will take?!?! 5 more years?!! Aspen will probably be graduating from high school before her adoption is finalized....and sealed to us. It is so frustrating and I've been trying SO hard to be patient, I really have. But everytime I turn around, there is another hangup...another problem, another delay of some sort. UGH!!!! So anyway, I suppose I can be done venting now; its just so frustrating. If we adopt again, I'm doing everything myself so that I can know exactly what is going on and I won't have to depend on someone else to get things done!!! Poopy crap! (wow, I sound like I'm 5.....). And she is the GREATEST baby in the whole world (I may be a *little* biased!) and we just want everything to be official. I mean, I know she is our daughter and we are her parents....I just want it to be official. (This last part should be read with a very whiny, pathetic voice...because that's what I am feeling!)

Anyway, I'm done! Hope everyone else is having good days and no frustrations! Because i have enough that all my friends should be frustration free for at least a year! :-)
