Not the Onion

For news articles which seem so much like satire that you're surprised they're not from The Onion.

Rules
  1. Headlines must exactly match the articles'.
  2. Posts must be genuine news articles, not satire, opinion, or tabloid pieces.
  3. News must be current.
  4. Popular political, religious, or social views are not Oniony, no matter how ridiculous you may think them.

TL;Dr They want the couple to take an official test but they only offer the test once a year. Which doesn't coincide with the application so they'd have to start over.
