Fringerprints Are Done

Our fingerprints are done. We weren't able to walk in last Friday like we had hoped. By the time we got Emily from school that day and hit some slow moving traffic, we got there just as they were turning off the lights in that office. Adrian, however, was able to do a walk-in in CO last Friday. We were more worried about him getting his done that day than ours. 

Everything went smoothly today. Now, we wait for USCIS approval.

Why the Decline in International Adoptions?

Fingerprint Appointments

Something happened sooner than expected. Today we received letters from the Department of Homeland Security with our fingerprint appointments. This is for our I800-A approval. We had these done for Mia’s adoption, but the fingerprints actually expired after 15 months. The appointments are for May 21; however, we are going to try to do walk-ins on Friday the 16^th. The reason we are trying to get them done sooner is because our oldest daughter is graduating high school the week of the 21^st, and it will be a crazy busy week.  It is possible that we might receive I-800A approval sooner than we thought, which is exciting, but terrifying at the same time. We have some very big fees coming up. We have been applying for grants over the past two weeks. Please be praying with us for God’s provision.
