What is the Purpose?

That is what I am pondering right now. Why are we having this struggle. I know there is some reason, but for an impatient high strung personality like I have, it is really hard to deal with. I spoke with ANA's attorney of Friday and after three meetings in three days with IBESR officials, they are still reluctant to sign us out. They are playing the " We don't understand why couples as young as you with three biological children want to adopt." Apparently there are still issues with Parquet as they claim they still are afraid of what will happen if our case gets signed out and passed along to that step. They told the attorney maybe when the new law gets passed we will be closer to the guidelines and it will be time to sign. How can they say they care about the children when willing parents are waiting. Their age requirement is 35 or over and they sign other cases that are over 30 but under 35. If they fudge that far why is 28 so much different? Why is 30 such a magic number? Now the attorney doesn't even know what to do, so we get to try and find contacts on our own. I swear this process is going to take 10 years off my life. This is the single most frustrating thing I have ever done and it feels like we are no closer to the end that when we begun. What a day!
