update!

Just want to let you all know we got our USCIS approval this week!!  We have only one more form that needs to be signed (hopefully this weekend) and we can get it all notarized, apostilled and shipped.  As of right now our facilitator is waiting to hear form the US Embassy in "B" about our Embassy appointment so that they will issue our Article 5 letter.  Once she has our Article 5, that and our second stage documents will be submitted to the Ministry of Justice...it's about a month wait to have a judge assigned, and then we wait for court.  Normally it's 3-5 weeks after court and we can pick our boy up!

no news!

And I'm tempted to not tell you any news that I get until we have at least $250 in Dexter's Christmas Warrior fund.  That would be mean, wouldn't it?  Except that we all know that I stink as a secret keeper.  The only way for me to keep a secret is for me to completely forget you told me.  Which does happen from time to time, but I doubt that I'm going to keep a secret our travel dates (once I get them) for long.  So let's do this instead....donate to Dexter!  Then I won't have to keep you in the dark.

"please help me find my mommy, I will smile so much then!"

{that chip-in at the top right of this blog post is the easiest way to donate to Dexter....and there's cookies in it for you!}

a quickie

Just wanted to provide a super fast mid-week update.

Our FBI background checks have now been apostilled by the US State Department.  This means they are completely ready to go to Danny's country!

We are waiting on one final thing for our Home Study, and it will be done.  Please pray this is received today so that we can get our USCIS application in as soon as possible.

Thanks for following along and praying for us!
