Waiting on Immigration

We know that the US Immigration office has received our paperwork, we got an email confirmation this last week.  Now we wait for an appointment to get our fingerprints done.  Hopefully that won't be too far out, but we have been told it can take 6 weeks.  BOO!!!  We are keeping ourselves busy in the meantime: yard work, staining the patio, gardening, and college world series started this weekend.  We are also getting around any loose ends for the dosier, so that when we get our approval we are ready to send in the next step.  Our child will not be waiting on us!!! 

Starting Immigration Paperwork

We received our FINAL copy of our home study this last week.  With it instructions on how to persue our next step...immigration.  I feel like we're on a treasure hunt!!!  Get one step done and get a clue on where the next "check" is :)  Our treasure waiting at the end of all this is definitely worth all the hard work. 

I can't believe I'm actually going to say this, but I don't mind the paperwork; in fact I kind of like it.  It gives me something to do and I feel like I have some say/control in what is happening.  Maybe false control, but it does make me feel better.  We're working as fast as we can to get to you, baby! 

I just got done downloading paperwork for the I-600A form that we have to fill out and send into immigration.  This is our petition to bring an international child to the United States.  It's amazing to me that the instructions are twice as long as the actual paperwork...may be in for some complicated paperwork.  But then again, is anything that has to do with the government not complicated??!!!  I'm looking forward to diving in, but wanted to send out a quick update. 

Love you all!  Thanks for keeping tabs on us.  megan
