Men in Black

So, what do we do with those fingerprints? We send them off to the FBI to see if we’ve got criminal records. I suppose China would be interested in not sending a child home with a criminal….details, shmetails.

So, Sat 2/17 we
1) wrote the letter to the FBI asking them to send our not-records to us,
2) took the letter and prints to the post office,
3) got 2 $18 money orders and
4) mailed the whole shebang off to Clarksburg, W Va.

Come on, $10K tax credit! Oh, yeah, for those who don’t know, the government gives at $10390 tax credit (2006) for a completed adoption! A credit is different from a deduction in the following way: Ahem…

(Anyone who knows the answer to this question is welcome to volunteer the info. I just know credit = better.)

It was a beautiful sunny day, but cold. We took pictures in front of the P.O., even though I asked a man to take our picture and he said. No. Not I’m sorry I’m busy, not nothing. Just No. Come on—it’s McHenry, fer chrissake!

Then we went down to Mexico for the night to visit Kevin and Julie. (We had such a nice time! Thanks! Great carpet, btw, and mmmm soy milk. ;)
