WOO HOO! We are FINALLY making progress!
Our home study was finalized just a few days ago. This means we are ready for the next step, filing our I800a application to Homeland Security. The I800a is basically us asking the government if we can bring a child in from another country to be our son or daughter. oh, how wonderful this is!!
Ironically, we mailed this VERY important document on Madelyn's Birthday!
If she only knew HOW PRECIOUS those papers are that she is holding!
So...now we WAIT again. The average turn around time right now for this application to be approved is 30 to 50 days. This is hard to stomach - but we know the Good Lord knows exactly what He is doing - there is a reason it's taken this long so far. Perhaps our child's paperwork is not at the correct location for us to be matched. Oh how we can't wait to see our son or daughters face! :-)
