Proud to be a Minnesotan

Of course you all know the troubles that we have been having with our government agencies and the lack of communication and cooperation between them. Well, last week I shot some emails off to the people that represent us in this great state. I am happy to say that Representative Kline's office has been more than helpful at trying to cut the red tape. His staff members often check in and give me updates. In fact they now feel they have broken through the red tape and that our information is going to be sent again. I have never been so happy to be back at the beginning of a long wait. If this is true, we are right where we were on April 21st, waiting for another 4-6 weeks to go get our daughter, yay!!
I have also gotten emails from our senator's office, which surprised me because I thought her office would be way too busy. You see, we only have one senator right now because someone won't admit he lost the election 7 months ago (that's a whole different entry). Senator Klobuchar's office are a little behind in the making things move because they are using email instead of calling, however they are double checking everything also to try to find the problem.
I am so excited that our politicians represent the people of their state and really try to help. I almost didn't ask because we are just a small family in this big huge state, but they are showing us that every person does count.

YAY!!!! I'm so so so glad that you decided to contact Kline's office. We did as well, and they were so incredibly helpful. I think they really like to help families come together. I hope it all moves incredibly fast now!!!

It looks like things are moving along again! Hopefully, by the end of Summer, she will be home! Everything in God's good time.

She better be home before school starts, so she can adjust to us a bit before we throw her into school with new strangers. I still don't like the fact that people's incompetence at their job can dictate my life.
