We've reached a very significant point in the adoption process. Everything went in the mail Thursday afternoon, so we've now applied with the US government for approval to adopt!!
Sometime in the next few weeks we'll receive receipt from CIS (Citizenship & Immigration Services) confirming they got our payment & application. Then we'll receive a letter with appointments to go for our FBI fingerprints. Those results take a while and will be sent to CIS. Then they begin reviewing our application. Once completed, we should receive our I-171H (approval). Total time could be 2 - 3 months, our first big wait.
In the meantime, we'll begin working on putting our dossier together. There's lots to do, so we won't have too much time to watch the calendar (which is a good thing!).
As always, we'll keep you all posted!

We are all gonna learn the meaning of patience during all this process. But, little guy will be worth the wait. I pray for him each day and try to imagine what he's gonna look like. I love him already!!
Love, Mom
