So it has now been over two weeks now since the lady told me she would be sending out my birth certificate, and I still don't have it. I called week ago and left a message--she never returned my call. I called yesterday and spoke with her. She seemed like she had no idea what I was talking about and said she would look and call me right back. I still have not heard from her. I even tried speaking to someone else about it, and they all say I need to talk to her.
I was hoping she would just say that she accidentally didn't get it sent out, but she found it and was sending it right then. What does it mean if they can't find it? Does it mean someone has it who shouldn't, and what would they use it for?
I'm going to call again tomorrow and hope someone knows something. (Did I mention how much I REALLY dislike calling people I don't know well?) If I can get no information, I guess I will just need to pay the astronomical fees again and order another copy, then pray they don't lose that one, too. Any other suggestions?
I know that this will not keep us from the child or children God has for our family. It's just frustrating now because everything seemed to be going SO smoothly this time and, other than a new I-171H, this is the ONLY document left for our dossier. All the other documents have even been state sealed already.

We paid about $30 to order my dh's BC from Vital Statistics. The date on his was more than 6 months so we had to get another one. It took about 1 1/2 weeks to get it and we did it by mail. I'm not sure who you're trying to get yours from but Vital Statistics has been great and you can order online. If you think you're within 2 weeks of getting your I-171H, maybe you bite the bullet and just order another one.
It cost me about $55 to order one birth certificate online. But then if I added another BC it was only another $5. The only option for the state was to pay overnight shipping. hehehe--that makes me laugh now. I TRIED to save some money and time by having it taken directly to the Secretary of State for authentication. (That was another $15, but I didn't have to pay additional shipping there and back.)
