Why?? Because today I got the call that we get the green light from Citizen and Immigration Services(CIS) of Homeland Security.
What does this mean?
For those familiar with international adoption, you know that nothing can proceed without that entirely sacred document from Citizen and Immigration Services (CIS) of Homeland Security that grants our family the official seal of approval to bring foreign orphans into our all-too-blessed nation as permanent residents and future citizens. Yeah!!!
So as soon as I receive the official paper. I send 19 notarized papers to Washington DC and then they send it to my agency and then they send it to Ethiopia and they give us a court date. So with lots of prayers, that means everyone start praying!! We will be headed to Ethiopia before they "close" for 6 weeks in Sep. That means we could be traveling to get our baby in as soon as 3-4 months. I will not even mention the money right now cuz I am just to happy to think about it.
So, I need everyone who wants to get rid of their "junk" to give me a call. I will be having a yard sale either this weekend or next. Any other amazing fundraisers? Let me know?

Geanie,
We were in Ghana May 3-10 filing our I-600. We are planning to go back to pick the girls up in mid June.
