When you think about it, a lot more things expire than you realize. Aside from the obvious like Milk... things like medicines, coupons, gift cards all expire. In the adoption world things expire. Did you know we have already had to renew our fingerprints because those expire? Really? I guess my finger prints could change... I could burn my hand off, or chop it off. Do you have to get fingerprinted if you don't have any hands? What do they print and does it expire? Entry visas expire too. You can purchase a 1 month visa or 3 month visa to enter Vietnam. Thank goodness we didn't do that in July. One family's 3rd 3 month visa is about to expire! We don't know about everything that expires, but we found out yesterday that our approval to bring home an orphan expired. This is what we call a I171H. We just happened to be shuffling through our dusty adoption papers when I noticed the date on them...Expires 11/10/08. We probably should have gotten a phone call from our agency about a month ago, right? They should have given us a list of things that expire, don't they look at these papers daily?
So today we find out what is needed... I'm sure more money, more time... I guess we'll wait and see.
