the paperwork.

is awful.

 

this part of the process is so frustrating. and in a lot of different ways. but right i'm annoyed. and frustrated and i find it hard to not get angry with this process sometimes.

 

when having ot include the last 3 years of tax returns... i have 2009 and 2011, but can't find my 2010 anywhere. and when you try to request a transcript only to have your address not match with their records...

to try old addresses...

to call the irs and hear the same recording over and over because you select a different option and then it hangs up on you.

to call the irs to request a transcript only to get the right option but the address doesn't match so it disconnects you.

to call the irs for the millionth time and not get a real live person!!!

 

do biological parents have to provide tax returns?!?!

 

i have it.. its just to GET it.. and this is the part that is frustrating.. a biological parent would not be having to scan and email pet vaccinations, marriage certificates, 3 years worth of tax returns, have to get a physical and doctor approval of any addictions or chronic illnesses, fill out financial statements, 30 pages of autobiography questions and get 4 references.

 

ugh. this IS worth it. it will be worth it. i know it.

 

but right now - i'm frustrated. and annoyed with the process.
