My Adoption Journey: The Nonsense Continues

The Nonsense Continues

Even though we were told yesterday that the issue with the address on the DNA sample was corrected at FedEx, FedEx attempted to deliver the package to the old address AGAIN. I am on the phone right now with the DNA company and FedEx trying to get it straightened out once and for all. A supervisor at FedEx is promising us that it will be delivered to Salt Lake City, Utah, the correct address, tomorrow. I have a bad feeling, though, that this package is going to get lost.
