Paperwork

I am trying really hard not to stress out about how much time is going by. We turned in the last of the reference letters, so we are finished with our part of the paperwork collecting. My fingerprints finally cleared!!! We are now waiting on my child a use clearance from Hawaii. I have heard that it is one of the states that takes the longest. I believe they have thirty days to process it and it has been a few days over thirty. I asked for the phone number and left messages on every extension it listed. I will start again tomorrow morning and see if I can get it moving along. I hope our social worker was able to finish our home study this weekend or will have it done in a few days! When she is finished she will email it to our adoption agency to see if ther have to be any changes made. They will email it back and forth until it is perfect and then it gets sent to the USCIS with paperwork for a 800A. I think. I am going to download and fill out the paperwork for that tomorrow. The only way to not obsess about this is to concentrate on one thing at a time. It is very hard, but I am doing my best. I know getting stressed won't help anything.
