More red tape.

Well this is just a quick update to try and keep this blog on track.
I believe wholeheartedly that my Father who died in 1994 is looking down on us , guiding us and more than anything protecting us. Well as we have to pass another inspection in front of the adoption board on 23rd. September as our documents in china are more than 3 years old. There is a document called penales in spain in ireland called certificate of character or conduct which I need to present but when we did the paperwork in 2007 it wasnt asked for. The spanish one I walked into an office and 2 minutes later I had it. The spanish authorities told me to contact the irish embassy to get the other one which I did. They said no contact local irish garda station. Which I did. No, they told me contact vetting office in thurles . Which I did and they told me I can only have an access to garda records cert. They told me how to download it pay for it and send it. I had to send it to my mother who forwarded it only for it to be returned as they wouldnt accept the 6 euro cash. She had to inclose a personal cheque. Which she did and sent it off. All this happened last week. Well something in my head last wednesday night while sleeping told me to question this again. I have also phoned the embassy office in alicante 3 times to get them to send me passport application which they havent so on thursday morning I decioded to phone the head office in madrid. I ordered the application forms again and asked about the other form again. WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS WRONG. I do in fact order the certificate in my local police station. I rang mam again she had to go and get the application form , inclose a copy of my driving licence and I emailed her a letter asking for them to process it quickly as it usually takes 3 weeks but we have this hearing on the 23rd. and it still has to be translated .
Mammy is now gone on a weeks holidays and I am waiting for the cert. to be sent to robs mothers asap. WILL IT BE HERE ON TIME. I dont know.  Now I am very nervous that none of the papers are going to arrive on time.
Meanwhile I keep up to date daily on blogs etc.
