The Journey has begun!

Well, the journey to bring home our child from Ethiopia has begun. On May 10th, we sent off our I 600 A to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services and received our application for our International Agency. Our I 600 A was received in Charlotte on May 11 and now the long wait to receive fingerprinting appointments begins. In the meantine, we are busy getting all of our paperwork together to have our homestudy completed and to compile our dossier (the big set of documents that proves we are who we say we are, that we are fit to be parents, etc.). Tomorrow we are scheduled to apply for our passports, to get our criminal record checks, and to be fingerprinted for a FBI check (so they can ask us about those speeding tickets). We hope that you will follow us in our journey. Please keep us in your prayers, along with our child that we haven't yet seen, but whom we already love.
