Immigration Approval - Finally!!!!

WE ARE APPROVED!!!!!

I am sure I told some of you that we thought immigration approval (based on their letter they sent) wouldn't happen until the end of November. I have been moping to the mailbox everyday since we went for fingerprinting on the 17th. Well, I was walking to the mailbox on Friday, and talking on the phone to Jeremy. I open the mailbox checking the mail before taking it out, and what did I see. A return address with CIS. OMG!!!!! I went from 0 to 60 in one second. Poor, JR. I was like screaming into the phone. I was so excited. Of course, it was 4:45 pm on Friday. Only my luck. The agency closes at 4:30 or so.

So what does this approval mean....

We don't official get on the waiting list until our agency has this paperwork. Then we are official on the waiting list for a baby. Hopefully, we will be on the list on Monday. I had been procrastinating with the photos for the dossier, so I rushed around Saturday morning to get them together. Lucky we have a Fed Ex office here in town and they are open on Saturday. I had two options for it to get there Monday morning. 8 am for $50 or 10:30 for $17. Tough decision. I think I can survive if it gets there at 10:30. I will pdf the approval first thing tomorrow morning when I get into the office.

Exciting...Exciting....

We have become friends with this couple also adopting from Korea that just got their referral last week. They didn't think they would see it until January. So things are speeding up, however I don't want to get too excited about that. Things could slow down again. It is amazing how all the countries adoption process can affect all the other countries.

I hope everyone is doing well.....TTYL....
