Got a package from the State yesterday. I’ve been waiting to get my original birth certs, the last piece of documentation that I should need, so I open up the envelope and………. they sent me four copies of the amended birth cert, rather than the original, pre-adoption cert. Talk about disappointment. I could have gotten those simply by walking up to the counter and asking. So I called the state today, which is never any fun: it took me 53 attempts [yeah, I counted], and about an hour to get through and speak with someone, and I was told I should send everything back to them for an exchange. Hopefully it won’t take so long this time, but I’m not counting on it. At least I don’t have to go through the court process again.
