I have just recieved a letter from are local Archdiocese that they have approved the annulment. In three weeks they send the decsion to the Washington D.C. Archdiocese. It's been 8 months and we still don't have a date set. How much longer does anybody think it may take? Thank You

Could be quite a while - remember how many they have to process, especially in this day and age! ;-)

But even in the past, it could take a long time. There are a couple of terrific books written in the 1950's called "Karen" and "With Love from Karen", by Marie Killilea, about a little girl who had cerebral palsy and her big wonderful Irish Catholic family. In the 2nd book, the older sister, Gloria, wants to marry a boy named Russ who has to get an annulment from his first marriage. They had to wait over a year.

So you may have a few more months to wait! But good luck - remember, it's a good opportunity to practice patience! ;-)

Love, Christine :-)
