Halloween is my favorite time of year!!! I already have a special little someone's costume for next year!!! If I get a chance I will post a sneak peak of next years cutest trick or treater's costume!
Can't wait to see the little "Hen"-rich in this!!!
Received an email that our dossier was received by our agency and is now on its way to Guatemala!
Ooops though...I never got our pics off to our agency yet...don't worry they will be fed-exed today!
Pray we get our I-171H soon!!!
The Lesko's have made it out of PGN!!! Little Mario will get to spend his first Christmas with his forever family!!!
We filed our I-600a on October 9th. Of course the receipt/tracking number states it will take 4-6 weeks to process. Since our approval for our Kazakhstan adoption only took 2 weeks I was hoping for the same. So I sent an email out today and get a response stating 6-8 weeks! Okay wrong direction! I thought I would place a post on one of the Yahoo groups and another adoptive mother told me she filed hers 4 weeks ago, also recently emailed them and received the same response.
Please pray we get this quick as we need it to proceed with the DNA in order to start through the courts!
There is a lot of talk about grandfathering of "registered" cases. Well I checked with our agency today and they said you are registered once your POA is with Foreign Affairs..and we are!!!
I should be receiving an album of new pics tonight...as soon as I get them you can bet I will be posting them!
We finally got our Delaware and Westmoreland County seals that were needed on a few of our documents. Now the documents are just hanging out in the fed ex drop box until tomorrow at 5 when they are picked up and sent off to the Department of State.
I am just waiting to get County Seals back from Delaware and Westmoreland County. I will be taking the rest of the dossier to the Allegheny County Courthouse on Thursday and hopefully I will be sending the paper work off to the Department of State that same day.
I also filed my I-600a today...thanks to Angie for driving over with me the Homeland Security Office...I would have been LOST!
After reading one of my favorite Kazakhstan blogs (I won't mention their names but I know they are reading this!) and looking back over their journey over the past two years it has just brought so many tears of joy. I know this is coming soon for Brent and I. Of course I just keep replaying the adoption videos I have on our Kazakhstan blog and balling!!! I just can't wait to be able to look back on the moments when love just takes us in and we all become a family! Even though both of our adoptions will not be smooth --- I found myself looking for jobs at adoption agencies! Who knows what the future holds!
One of my favorite lyrics: I need someone who needs me!
Okay so here it is!!! Thanks for every one's suggestions...the next care package will include the other suggestions I didn't get to purchase since I was limited to the stores nearby due to our schedules!
Our agency director is traveling again next week to visit the children as well as taking donations for the foster parents of the little boys waiting for families.
So while gathering gifts for the boys we get to send our first care package to Elvia/Auri and they are delivering it personally! I am so excited! Any suggestions on what to send??? She's 14 months now!
