One of the most frustrating things in the process is waiting for governments to get back to you with the required paperwork. This is complicated by the fact that we’ve lived in a number of states since we were 18. Yep, that’s right, you need to get paperwork from everywhere you’ve lived from age 18 until today. In our case, that’s a flurry of letters sent off to various state offices to check us against the child abuse registries there. We’re clean, but we need proof, nad so we wait.
