Passports

Today we got all of our passports for the kids from Fedex. We are taking all of our children with us to Vietnam, so we knew that they would each need one. The kids were very excited to see their pictures in the passport book. I can't believe that this is really going to happen. The excitement is overwhelming

Give everyone a kiss and hug from us.

I-600A

It's Saturday about 2:24pm, and we just got a letter from CIS that they received our application. It takes (90) days to process, and (60) days to process the fingerprint application form. We are moving right along.

Just getting started

We were so excited after we went to a CHI informational meeting about adoption. We got my sister to babysit for us that Saturday. We walked into to the door, and the spirit really touched us. Our eyes filled with tears, and we both said this is it, this is right. We knew at that moment. It was the right time to bring another little life into our family. July 5, 2007 we sent in all of our paper work. I was pacing the floors waiting for approval. I called the Missouri office. The lady that answered the phone said it's funny because I was just about to call you. She told me that we were approved. We then got another packet in the mail to get started. We mailed in our I-600A and got our home study agency. We recently just got back the I-600A because the fees changed. We mailed it in one day late. We were really bummed, but it's part of the process.
