Another email sent...

I just finished sending an email to my PA Agency to see if there is anything I can be doing towards my dossier while I wait...I hope they can suggest something! The frustration is building! It has been 4 months waiting on the name search/fingerprints...it is so crazy...and my poor Mom...I know this is not easy for her!

I am hoping my PA Agency will help...because my HS Agency has really not been much help on this so far.

The State Agency is closed tomorrow...so I will not hear again tomorrow...but I will call again on Wednesday!

Will keep you posted!
