I am happy to report our Caregiver and Criminal Back Ground reports came back and we are good to go! We knew we hadn't done anything, but always hear those stories. Things seem to be moving right along!
Today we went to the Outagamie County Sheriffs Department to get our seal of approval for upstanding citizens. Kenton and I were sitting there and she came back and said "that will be $0.25". We looked at each other with this puzzled look, we were told it was free. Then she stated there was a ticket, I thought huh did I get a speeding ticket and forgot? NOPE it wasn't me it was Kenton. Then our minds flashed back to 2001... Our first year in Appleton... Being from the Chicago area yellow lights mean...Go faster! Well not here in Appleton, that means you get a ticket! We forgot all about it! We are learning lots on this journey...and being reminded of how long ago some things were!
Through this process we have learned that some of our governmental departments are useless! We spent a couple of hours on the phone trying to figure out where to take the Human Services clearance forms. After being transferred a million times we just drove it down there. No one seems to know what to do with the form... Really, we can't be the pioneers of adoption (that is super sarcastic, we have several friends that just went through this process). We left the form with the woman and she says she will call us once they know what to do..Crazy! We are just praying they find it into the right hands!!
