Adopting Ahren (& PBJ, too!)

Official adoption update. Today I learned that the documents were picked up from the Statistics office by our lawyers. But what are these 'documents'? What has all this wait been for? It turns out that this is the official birth records. We should have had these many months ago, but the Civil Registry forgot to ever file them. So once the problem with the records was discovered, instead of moving to fix them, they first had to file the incorrect records with statistics and have them entered into the records. Now the process to fix them begins. The paperwork goes back to the Civil registry, where they outline what needs to be fixed. The files then go to PGN where they approve the changes, then back to Civil Registry where they make the changes and then back to Statistics to have it recorded. Then, Statistics can issue a new birth certificate and the adoption can begin.
Warning: Major Rant in the next section!
So, this is all just a great big game of Hot Potato with no end in sight. It could take many more months to finally get a birth certificate and move forward with adopting Ahren. I swing between being angry and sad. I feel like my heart is just being ripped out of my chest. Who can I be angry with? The agency that had no control over this? The lawyers who are trying but also have no control? The birth mom for changing her mind about his name? Every other parent who has breezed through the process and is bringing their baby home? God? Myself? Anger is just a waste of energy. Understandable, but a waste all the same.
We are going to need to re-do a lot of the paperwork in our dossier since it needs to be current (less than a year old for most documents) at the completion of the adoption. That means 2 new sets of fingerprints for both of us, new medical exams, new financial statements, new police clearance and child abuse clearance, updated home study, new references, everything. All of those documents have to be notarized, signed by the Secretary of State, authenticated by the Guatemalan consulate and translated into Spanish. Today I just don't know if I have the energy to do it all again. It's not like I have a lot of extra time to devote to the paperchase. It took me months to get it all together the first time. It all has to be perfect, too. Exact wording, signed just-so, stamped just-so, blah blah blah. Can't I just give them a kidney instead? Pleeeeeze????
