USCIS Fingerprints Completed... Atleast for another 18 months.

Not much time right now, but wanted to post quickly. Chris and I had another big step today with our Colombian adoption. We went to our local USCIS office to have our finger prints taken. These are the prints that ultimately determine if we are able to bring an orphan from Colombia back to the states. No concerns here!!! We've done it before so most of the anxiety surrounding adoption has subsided. We know it will work itself out.

Now we just have to get Chris's Radiologist to write a recommendation properly (she is wonderful and did write one, but it was all medical terminology and nothing about future prognosis.. Colombia was spelled wrong too, not a good first impression... he he!) and we will be good to go. We talked with her today and she should be getting the revised letter in the mail to us soon. We have about 6 weeks to get the rest of our paperwork in order and sent for translation. At that point we are looking at Christmas and I am sure it will sit for a few weeks due to the holiday. Then the 2 1/2 year wait for our referral. At least this time we have Gage to keep us entertained. We also have a friend who is adopting from China and hopefully mid way through we will be able to celebrate their daughter coming home!!! There will definitely be joyous occasions to help pass the time!

Sorry for the rambling. I will be posting Halloween pictures soon. I just need to load them into the computer!
