Today I spoke with a staff person in Congressman Connie Mack's office. He listened intently to my story, asked some questions and finally said that they could call the Department of State to make a congressional inquiry. I thought, "WOW, yea, maybe someone will put some pressure on the DOS!" When he asked where I lived and I told him I was in Texas, he said that he would not be able to do that on our behalf. He told me they would have to extend congressional courtesy to my congressman. I told him I had emailed him and not heard back and he suggested I call his office. Even though he could not help me, I appreciated that he called me. At least now I know that they can make a congressional inquiry with the DOS. That was valuable information.
Any Prospective Adoptive Nepal Parents out there, call your congressman. I will be calling Congressman Ralph Hall's office on Monday. The Department of State needs to get their procedures going. Those of us who have travel approval have time ticking away.

Hey maybe there's a pipeline family in Congressman Connie Mack's district? He's all primed to help thanks to you!
