Rejected

"Our records indicate that your fingerprints were "rejected" (unable to be read) by the Federal Bureau of Investigation." Therefore, it will be necessary for you to have your fingerprints taken again."

That was the first paragraph of a letter that Naomi received today.

wow, I was so worried that would happen to us because my DH has so many scars. I hope your next attempt is successful!

So let me guess this straight, they can lift fingerprints off a garbage bag or from the exploded fragments of a bomb but they can't get her fingerprints from a piece of paper?

Have Faith;
The winds blow from a thousand ways and waft their balms abroad,
The winds blow toward a million GOALS-but all winds blow from God.

Hi Everyone,

Well, I guess the Fingerprinting issue has gotten to me more than anything else although I'm not sure why. The only reasoning that I can seem to come up with is that I was finally allowing myself to see the light at the end of the tunnel...and then to get the letter in the mail about my finger prints was quite discouraging. It was weird, I could actually feel my heart drop this time.

Oh well, I know God is developing character in me and preparing both of us for parenthood, but then times like today when I just wish I could bury my head in the sand and hide.

However, I believe in my heart we are on the right track, and God must have something fabulous in store for us and our baby.

Thanks for your prayers,

Naomi
