So many of you have been asking about my trip to Kentucky so here goes the story.
First of all our Dossier has NOT even been sent to China, I just thought it had. I get a call from our social worker on Friday May 28 at 11:00 saying my birth certificate did not have a state seal on it from when we got it authenticated. OK I said what does that mean. She said you have to mail it to them and wait for them to send it back. No way was I going to wait another 2 weeks just to get the state seal. So I asked my sweet friend Jennifer if she wanted to go to Kentucky today. She said sure. So off we went.
Before we left I called to make sure someone would be there and what time they closed. They said they closed at 4:30.
We had plenty of time to get there. We left around 12:00 and it was about a 3 1/2 hours trip.
We find the state building. It was very beautiful up on this big hill. We walk up to these huge wooden doors and the sign says push hard. So I push really hard. I could not get the door to open so I ask Jennifer to try. She couldn't either. Jennifer suggested I call the number of the office. I could not find my phone so Jennifer got hers out and opened it. She said Shelly it says 4:32. NO WAY!!!! I did not realize they were on Eastern Time.
We quickly run around the building to see if any door was open. We find these people and tell them our story please please all I need is a state seal could someone please help me.
I think the man felt sorry for me and said let's got see if anyone is left in that office.
When we got up on the 3rd floor there was 1 lady left. The man asked if she could get a state seal for me. She said no all she did was accounting and everyone else has left for the Memorial Day weekend.
We asked if she was sure there was not anyone there. So she went to look for someone. She did find 1 more lady left. This lady asked for my papers and what I needed. She said hold on let me see. I thought this is a really good sign she is looking the papers. She calls another lady who does the state seal and walks her through how to do it. WOW GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!!
She comes back and hands it to me.
I thanks her a billion times and then off to FED EX to get it on its way.
God is so good He already knew that lady would still be there and did not what us to wreck trying to get up there on time. We had just a few minutes of panic as opposed to 3 hours of panic.
As of today our Dossier is still not sent to China but we definitely know He is on the journey with us.
