Thanks, this has been an arduous journey to say the least. You guys have helped me more than 3 different immigration lawyers have. My grandfather (adoptive dad) was a combat veteran for the USAF and he was "to the book" kind of guy, so that's what I'm falling back on in regards to hoping he did so with the adoption as well.
I'm born in Norway, but moved to the U.S. when I was under five years old. I lived there throughout the 80's and the 90's. The only school I've ever gone to was American schools. Even when speaking my "native" tongue they hear my American dialect in the way I speak. I've never been happy here, and longed to return back to what I consider home. Especially now, since I've got a fiance whom I love dearly. I've lived all across the U.S. from California to Florida and many places in between. (Noteworthy Texas and Georgia - Bulldogs represent!)
I know we can get married and all that, but it would be nice to be able to stand on my own two feet and not have to rely on her to sponsor me in and all that. Not that she could, anyway. She's disabled (muscular dystrophy) but I have found a co-sponsor she can use that will help me if push comes to shove.
So I really do appreciate all of your help, especially you Family. You've all provided great feedback and help, so know that it means a lot that you've all took the time to help me out. And thought I'd just share a little about the person you're helping. It's late here now, so nighty-night!
