Well we finally......and I mean finally have some progress to report. We were unable to send in our I600A because DCFS lost our paperwork for our foster license. We went to be re-fingerprinted and filed the paperwork all over again. Now, we have a license and the required license number on our home study. Our homestudy was sent to Dove Adoptions and yes.....approved!
Now we have to re-submit some financial paperwork to DCFS and then both our homestudy is sent to them and our I600A (petition to adopt a foreign orphan) is sent to the US government.
Once the USA checks it all out, we are fingerprinted by immigration and Homeland Security. Once we receive our "golden ticket" we can send it off to Springfield, Illinois to be authenticated. Once that happens and we receive the paperwork back from Springfield our dossier will be sent to Dove.
Thank goodness an answer to prayer! This has been a very long paperchase! Good grief! It will all be worth it when we finally see his little face! My optimistic goal is to have him home before the clock strikes 2011!
Please continue to pray for our last few dossier items to fall into place, our I600a to move along, and our little one. We are coming!
