Oh Happy Day!

I couldn't find the video I wanted but I like this one too. It conveys how I'm feeling today.



We have been waiting, and waiting, and waiting some more for our homestudy to bet put into our hands. It was completed two weeks ago but they were waiting on one more document so the date could be added to the homestudy. Today it came in!!! Unfortunately we're in the middle of a major snow storm here and a lot of offices are closed, including our homestudy agency. So, first thing Monday morning I'll be on their doorstep. We're in a race against the clock at this point, but I am happy. So very very happy!

Dare I say it?

The paperwork is done! Everything is signed. The only thing left for me to do is pick up Dean's medical statement.

The next step is a home visit with the social worker which should be sometime next week. Once the Adam Walsh clearance comes back (I hear they're taking as long as 4 weeks right now. Anyone know?) we'll have the homestudy in our hands.

Once we have our homestudy in our hands, our dossier - aka "the paper baby" - will be sent to the translator in Serbia. I'm hoping it will only take a week or so to translate. While this is happening another copy of our homestudy will be sent to USCIS for approval. That process is currently running 4-6 weeks, which puts us to about mid-March. As soon as we have  USCIS approval we can set a travel date!!
