Baby Steps...

But steps none the less!


Our i800 receipt came on FRIDAY! Not anything huge, but atleast we know that USCIS has it and any day now, we should get our finger print appts. Those will be a task... Will has to be fingerprinted, too, so he has to go in Dall*as... but shortly after that appointment, the i800 will come... and then we just have to get everything authenticated before we can be DTC! So things are finally moving along... even if they seem to be moving so very slowly. We saw Charlie's face for the first time just over 3 months ago... and he turns 4 in 3 months from today :(

Such a cutie! Won't be too much longer and you'll be DTC! We hope to be in Chongqing in January or February for Evan!

The receipt is good ~ we got our fingerprint appointment about five days after we got our receipt!
I understand so well watching that clock tick away and a face still on the wrong side of the ocean...

I know how y'all are feeling. We saw Joel's face back in March, 6 months ago. We were DTC 9/11 and still no word of our LID. I never imagined it would take a month or more but with the holiday, I don't look to hear anything before next week at the earliest. :(((

Why does it take so long? I know the answer, but it is so hard when we are waiting with a photo of a precious PERSON who is waiting too though they don't really know it. Somehow, though, I think instinctively they know something or someone is missing from their lives.

*OK, tears over here for Charlie and Joel* {{HUGS}}
