Hi all!
Since our last post, we have been practicing the fine art of waiting with purpose. You know where you do stuff to make the waiting seem worthwhile. Like getting a great bed for a kiddo who you've never seen or building the world's greatest picture book library for kiddos who may or may not love the same kinds of books you do.
Today, though, we get to celebrate! We just received notice that our I-600 thingy-thing was accepted so we now have a very plain piece of paper that says that we are approved for visas to bring home up to two kiddos. We couldn't be more excited! (Well, we could - like when we our actual referral or when we get to bring home our kiddos. But, for now....) And what other way would paperchasing-parents-to-be celebrate except by going to see our notary? Yes, we have our own personal notaries - that's right, not one, but two. One that travels and one that makes us go to his office. At the end of this process, I think we will have made a thousand new friends. The best part of getting to visit our notary today is that I think we might be officially done with paperchasing! Later this week we'll send everything off to AWAA, wait for their official review of our documents, wait for them to do their stuff, and then get put on an officail list of waiters.
Thank you all for continuing to check on us and our process. And thank you for the support and love that you continue to show as you shop through our Amazon link. We can't wait to bring our kiddos home and let them meet the wonderful community that has supported them for so long.
Love,
Jimmy and Celeste
