By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us reach ours.
An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary.
They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged for,
received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full.
Love is meant to be shared.

Oh Happy Day!!

It is our I-171H...
Notice of Favorable Determination Concerning Application For Advance Processing of Orphan Petition.

Of course, the government couldn't fold it neatly!

We sent the application on July 20th.
It was registered on July 30th.
We were fingerprinted on Aug 18th.
Homestudy was sent on Sept 25th.
Approved November 30th.

It took 4 months total.
10+ weeks since our homestudy was received.

I will make copies, get one notarized, and in tomorrow's mail
to the Capital to be state sealed.

It should be at the Consulate by the end of next week!!

This has been a GREAT week!!!

Time to remove the ticker on the right...I HAVE IT!!!
