keep the prayers coming

It has been a rough morning. We have tried 4 places to get the needed document signed and have ended up with one document that *might* work (not quite what we wanted, but what they could give us). We are now getting a copy of the requested document signed by an attorney rather than a law enforcement agency (which they said was "preferred") because neither the local police nor the sheriff's department nor the county clerk could do what we asked. We are praying that this will be sufficient even though it isn't precisely what we were asked for. We hope to hear from our caseworker soon, as we've left voice mails and emails to try to figure out what will resolve this.

Pray

* that the caseworker will call back very soon to let us know whether what we've done is acceptable

* that what we have done is in fact acceptable

* that I will not lose my mind or temper today, any more than I already have (probably it's not good to be snotty to people at the sheriff's department). I am living on my last nerve right now. Ready to break down at any moment. We don't know the consequences if we can't get this form, but they certainly include losing our preliminary court date (which has actually been set for June if we can get this problem fixed). We haven't been able to enjoy even a moment of excitement for the setting of our court date because it was immediately followed by this fiasco putting it in jeopardy. The fact that our caseworker has been inexplicably out of contact since we tried to get a hold of her over 3 hours ago is not helping.

PRAY PRAY PRAY!!!
