Background Checks
These things are taking FOREVER!!! I know 4 weeks isn't actually eternity, but man it feels like it when I just want to get my profile up and be a waiting family. DH has two background checks that haven't come back yet for our homestudy, and I'm sure they're going to take even longer. We have no address for him; he lived in barracks and has no clue how to get an address. Both these places were states he was only in for a couple months of training. I really hope they go through eventually! We have a phone appointment with our agency in a couple of hours, and it stinks that we still don't have our HS finished.

Re: Background Checks
One of mine took 9 weeks. They lost it.
For our background checks, as long as we had an approximate street address we were good. Did he just put that he was in barracks on XYZ base?
We are waiting too
I was told 8 weeks...and that is also what they have listed on the FBI's website....I'm still holding out hope they'll come sooner but not counting on it.
DD conceived with no issues, but born at 33 weeks due to PPROM

12-2012-after being with our agency over a year and only shown to EM once we decided to talk with RE about DEIVF. Thru a crazy sequence of events we decided to go for it and we picked a donor MUCH quicker than anticipated

ER 2/15 resulted in 15 eggs/10M/6F with ICSI.

positive on HPT 6dp3dt. Could this really be IT?!?! Beta 14dp3dt=2440. U/S scheduled for 3/20.
What a pain that it takes longer without the specific address. What about "in the middle of freaking nowhere sacrificing for your freedom" as an address? Probably wouldn't go over too well, huh?
After 5.5 years of loss, heartbreak, and empty arms, our dreams were fulfilled through the beautiful, selfless gift of adoption. We are amazingly blessed!

LOL that probably wouldn't help, but it's soooo tempting. We were probably just spoiled by our first couple. Two of the states came in within a week and a half, and the FBI one was almost as fast. Unfortunately, two of the last three we were able to get in are taking the longest!
I somehow didn't see this when I looked before. As of now, they have already been sent in so we can't really add the addresses to them. If we go much longer without a response and an address will help, I'll definitely be sending you an e-mail, thanks.
