Approved!!

Well, after a two month wait, we finally got our approval from USCIS to bring a baby into the US from Ethiopia! We actually got the long-awaited I-171H form in the mail last Friday, but they had spelled our last name wrong in one spot, so we had to ask for a new copy. They turned it around quickly, but it was frustrating nonetheless. But now it's on its way to our agency where it (along with the rest of our dossier - this document completes it) will be sent to various places for authentication, and THEN we are ready to get a referral!! For those not familiar with the lingo, a referral is receiving the name and picture of a baby that we could adopt. That will be an exciting day! Please pray for patience and wisdom for us as we wait for this day.
