FBI Fingerprints

We received the FBI Fingerprint appointment today in the mail :). Also received paperwork back from Austin yesterday. Can't complain much b/c things are moving forward.

Things are slow but moving

I am sending all of the paperwork I have ready to Austin on Monday. There the paperwork will be verified/authenticated by the Sec of State. I still have to send our passport information and them immigration information when it comes back. Still no appointment for the FBI fingerprinting. Hoping it is done this month b/c don't want to take off of work my first month there. I do plan on painting the baby's room this week. Part of the dossier is to include pictures of the nursery. I won't have it all together but at least it can be painted.

Home study sent to USCIS

I mailed the approved home study USCIS this morning. Another thing to check off of my list. So next, waiting to get our program packet and fingerprint appointment. YEAH.

The article in the Chronicle

Well the link to the article in the Houston Chronicle does not work any longer. But the agency sent me a link to the article on Mrs. Erichsen's website. So here it is http://erichsenbooks.com/News/News.htm. The picture was better than I was expecting. Just scroll down a bit to see the article.

A friend of mine is in Guatemala right now visiting her daughter, Coryn. Her blog, Fly Home Ladybug, is linked to the right if anyone wants a peek at her. I am not sure when they are coming home permanently with Coryn.

Approved Homestudy

I received a copy of the approved home study from the social worker yesterday. I now wait to receive the notarized copies from the agency. I will then send it to USCIS and then we get fingerprinted by the FBI. We are one step closer.

Surfing the Web

No new adoption news. I have been surfing the web. I have really become addicted to the other Vietnam adoption blogs. It seems that a lot of the parents from another agency blog their experience. It really allows me to catch a glimpse of what it will be like in Vietnam. So while reading these blogs, I have come across some cool web sites. I have copied some of them if anyone cares to visit.

Not much to report

We have not received the draft of the home study yet to review. So just waiting. Unrelated to adoption, Mitch's parents have been in town visiting from Mississippi. Josh has been eating it up. They leave today, and I am must say it has been a nice visit.
