Adoption Progress . . .

Today, December 30, we received email confirmation that USCIS ("Immigration" as I call it) has received our application!  Soon, they will send us notice of when we can go to the USCIS office in St. Louis for fingerprinting.

Last week, December 23, our Dossier was sent to the Philippines by our adoption agency!

So, Step 2 and Step 3 are both in progress.  We should hear from both of these around the end of February or so.

Meanwhile, we will be preparing things at home (rearranging bedrooms, closets, etc. so that Josiah and his new brother can be in one room, and Nathanael and Luke can move to the other bedroom), applying for adoption grants, and planning a fundraising event.  I guess it's good to be busy while we wait to hear from all the different places and levels of approval - time will fly, I'm sure!
