09/12/08 - Paperwork Update and Other Discoveries

All of our paperwork we sent to Duni, our Family Coordinator at America World, has been approved! No changes needed! Praise God!! We have applied for our passports and are faxing some more paperwork to Duni next week.

We have also begun researching children's adoption and multiracial family books so we can expand our personal library collection. Stay tuned for our best picks!

We found an old PBS special on Africa and watched the section on Ethiopia. It was great to see the landscape, learn about some of their traditions, and even see the hotel where we'll probably stay as the host of the show stayed there!

NEXT STEPS: We have the certified bank check and needed paperwork for sending in our I6ooA form (to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services [USCIS]) which we will be doing on Thursday! Our completed home study will follow in a couple of weeks. Then we'll get a day and time to be fingerprinted and hopefully get approval (the I171H form) quickly.

PRAISE AND PRAYER: Huge praise that we do not need to make any changes to the paperwork we have already gathered! And another praise for some more online training classes our social worker Faith has guided us to. Please pray that the home study comes together soon and that it does in fact only take 4 -6 weeks (the last time frame we were given) to get approval from the USCIS as well as 4 - 6 weeks for our passports (the time frame we were given) to come.
