Where We Are Now...

Several people have asked where we are in the process so I thought I would give an update.  Our home study was complete on Thursday 12/27 and we sent our I-800A to immigration on Friday 12/28.  The I-800A is to approve us to adopt a child from another country.  We may wait up to 2-3 months for this approval but we are praying it will come much sooner.  Once we receive approval from immigration, we will begin getting the documents for our dossier authenticated so that we can send our dossier to china.  For those who are wondering what a dossier is, this is all of the paperwork and documents we have been gathering that will go to China so we can adopt our little girl!  It will take about 2-3 weeks to get everything authenticated once we receive immigration approval.  I know this is all so confusing if you don't know how the adoption process works but all of you adoptive moms out there know how exciting this is!!  We are so close to having everything done so that we can find out who our child is!  I will update our progress once we move on to the next step.  Please pray that our immigration approval will come very soon.
