Oh for good God's sake--vent

So, now if this isn't a laugh or a kick in the ass I don't know what is! After two unsuccessful tries at registering Alihan--where the paperwork was sent back for the absolutely stupidest reason, with a barely legible explanation--I gave up and sent everything to Frank Foundation, along with a check for $150 and let them deal with it. So, that was well over a week ago. So I contacted my agency, concerned of course since his passport was in there and, as we all know, what could happen with this adoption, has. So, I get an email back today saying that the registration was closed last week (huh????) and that they haven't been able to register any children since the government is changing things---AND I SHOULD BE PATIENT! Now that just ticked me off a little. I have a whole litany of what I would like to say in regards to that--but I'll hold back. We've been screwed out of money, lied to, treated as if we were a burden while in Krygz and just generally overall messed with--and I'm told to BE PATIENT!! Give me a fricking break (I'd like to use another word, but for the sake of everyone I'll hold back). We spent well over $40 grand for this adoption and were basically treated like shit by the Frank Foundation. They can take their "patience"" and shove it. I love Alihan and don't regret him for a minute--but there just comes a point where my "patience" runs out.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. The majority of paperwork is now behind you. Oh wait, you have like 11 more years of post placement reports. Hmmmm, maybe it's just an oncoming train.
Just kidding. Hang in there. You already have the prize!

Ahhhh... and sitting here on the other side of the fence waiting for my referral and being told the same thing, for the same reasons, I truly feel your pain. I'm told it's nearly resolved.

ours got sent back too with no explanation-just all the paperwork with no letter attached. finally got it resent back to the embassy on saturday, thanks to CWA taking care of it for us...sorry about how you've been treated, there's no reason for it. just to let you know, they changed the registration form and the embassy now wants 50 dollars to register them if your agency asks you again for more money...we were all irritated about that one!

Oh for goodness sake. Isn't this just getting a little ridiculous? I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one this happened to.
