Well, we've done it again. Another year, another set of fingerprints done. Yesterday I went to the courthouse to make sure I was doing my prints right (you would think after 4 times I would get it right). In Kentucky Wednesdays are the day that adoptive parents can come in to do fingerprints, so yesterday I went downtown to make sure I had everything I needed for today. Good thing I did. When I got to the office the man instructed me to go get the letter we needed from the 3rd floor to get our prints done. I remembered doing this last year so I headed up to the 3rd floor. When I got up there I found out that the office is closed on Wednesdays so it was a good thing I was there to get it on Tuesday. The lady working the desk was the same one from last year so I was nervous to even talk to her as last year she was extremely mean. Surprise, surprise, she went out of her way to help me this year. She pulled our file and right away told me to put away my checkbook as this set of prints would be free. I had completely forgot that, saving us a big $160.00! She got me through the line and even gave me Mike's papers without a hassle. On the way out she even wished me good luck and told me she just knew we would have our sweet daughter soon! So today I met Mike at lunch downtown and went to get our fingerprints. I always laugh when I go in there as we are always the only American people in the place. The man remembered me from yesterday and said he would take care of us and get us done right away. Less than 5 minutes later we were having our prints done and out the door in 15 minutes! It must have been our lucky day! By the way, the lady doing the prints said she felt that things are going to speed up since the Olympics are over (like we haven't heard that over and over) but I sure hope she is right. Since today is August 27th it's getting closer and closer to seeing what is in store for next month. Everyone cross your fingers!

Kim - Like I said the light at the end of this tunnel is getting brighter. You just keep working toward that end!

Glad this 4th trip to the fingerprint office was a joy. I get to look forward to doing my 3rd time in Oct. I'm hoping the the Post Olympics rumor is a true one. Really we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
