Still in Tennessee...Ugh!

We had only expected to be here in Tennessee for 3-5 days well it looks as though we will be in Tennessee for another week. The theme of this adoption process has seemed - What can go wrong will go wrong.! The paperwork for the ICPC was sent to the Tennessee lawyer last Monday morning, but the Georgia Case Worker didn't hear back from anyone, so he called only to find out that the paperwork had been sent to the wrong address, and that the lawyer had changed addresses. So new copies of the paperwork was sent to the correct address. Only to have the lawyer say that Tennessee did not like the wording of the 'Statement of Legal Risk' paragraph. So LDS Family Services had to rewrite the statement. Have Rob sign it and then have me sign it. Well by the time this got done, it was Thursday afternoon, and the lawyer was taking an early holiday weekend. She was not going to be in the office at all on Friday. So with it being Presidents day on Monday. The paperwork will not get started until Tuesday the 19th. So this little vacation has turned into quite the long drawn out one. We are hoping that by Thursday next week we will get the OK to take Karlee to Utah. Which I hope comes for sure soon, if I never have to stay in a hotel this long will be a blessing.
In all this, I am truly grateful for the miracle from my Heavenly Father our little daughter, Karlee. We are so blessed. She is changing everyday. She is such a wonderful baby, and hasn't complained at all spending her first 2 weeks of life in a small, stuffy hotel room. What a trooper!

She really is a beautiful little baby. I'm sorry that the process is taking so long. I'm sure you are itching to get back to UT, but hang in there. It could be much worse. Keep posting pics!
