And these---
Can't wait to be able to hold these hands and love these two sweeties! The days are flying, but it still seems like it is a long time until we will get to meet our girls. S, our 5 year old, will turn 6 in a month--how we would love to celebrate with her! All in God's timing.
On other "hand" news, Jenny, Bill and I had our hands held for fingerprinting for our I-800A. Yeah! Last week we got a letter with a date to come in on it, but we would have had a hard time for Bill and Jenny to get off work so we decided to walk in on Friday. Thankfully they took us! After 20 minutes, we were done. Now we pray that the officer assigned gets our paperwork approved quickly.
An I-800A is the US Citizenship and Immigration (USCIS) form used to initiate the adoption process for Hague countries. It usually takes 2-3 months for this to be processed. You send your application, along with your home study, birth and marriage certificates and a big check and then get a fingerprinting (biometric) date. We sent our application on 11/20. So thankful to be where we are and praying that we will get approval quickly! Once we get that, we have it notarized and apostilled and add it to our dossier. Then our dossier is ready to submit to the girls' country. Can't wait!
Every day is a day closer......
