A Brief Review

I decided to move our blog because the FreeWebs site was taking way too long to download. For those or you who are just starting to follow our journey, here's a recap of the past six months. We began our adoption journey on August 20, 2007 by attending a meeting at Bethany Christian Services. We had been talking about adoption and researching agencies for a few months, and we finally decided that we were ready. We decided to adopt an infant boy from the country of Kazakhstan. We filled out the necessary forms, got fingerprinted a few times, had lots of medical tests and met with our social worker to complete our home study. We filed our I-600A form with the USCIS and started gathering the necessary documents for our dossier. We have finished everything that we can do right now and are only waiting for our I-171H form to arrive from the USCIS. This is the form that allows us to bring our child into the United States as a citizen of our country. We expect it to arrive in about six weeks. Once it arrives we can have everything notarized and apostilled before it goes to Kazakhstan.
