Our home study approval was for real last week, and our journey is once again moving forward as I overnighted our I-800A application today to the USCIS (Citizenship and Immigration Services). This is an application for determination of suitability to adopt a child from a convention country. We were not able to mail it last week because it required our adult son’s signature, and he was in CO. on a trip with our church’s youth group.
Now, we must wait once again. We are hoping and praying that we get USCIS approval in time to get our dossier in China by the Oct. 1 deadline, so that we do not have to meet additional requirements, which would mean more time, paperwork, and money. Our adoption agency told us back in April that the USCIS was taking 6-8 weeks. We are hopeful, though, after reading another adoption blog that recently reported having their USCIS approval in four weeks.
We have been reading several other adoption blogs. It’s wonderful to see their stories unfold as they get referrals and meet their child for the first time. Looking forward to those days!
