Moving On

So, God's plan was different than what I had anticipated. I suppose I can work with that! So, yesterday, we sent in our I-600A paperwork to Dallas. This is mainly asking for permission to bring a little one into the country. I have been told that it shouldn't take more than 45 days to process. Really? 45 days? To look me up and see that I am not a criminal? That shouldn't take that long. I have a feeling it is because of the whole "Smith" thing. Might be a few of those to look through. Then, we have to go to Des Moines for more fingerprinting. Apparently, the government can't just use the ones we had done over the summer. They need fresh ones. Oh, and more money, too. Ah yes, the government hard at work. After we have our finalized forms from the immigration department, we can finally send in our dossier to Holt, and then they send it to Ethiopia, and then we get on the wait list. Hoping we make it to the wait list by Easter. We shall see!
