Where we're at

We are getting closer every day to becoming DTC (Dossier to China). Today we received our fingerprint appointment with USCIS. It is scheduled for May 2 at 9 AM. I can't believe it. One month to the day of mailing our application, we'll be fingerprinted. I have been anticipating a long wait for this. I'm just relieved to know that I filled out the application correctly, mailed it to the right people, and they received it. :-)

We are still in the waiting period for Billy's paperwork. We are waiting for the time limit to run out on his finding ad. That should be in about 6 weeks or so. We have contacted our agency and they know to start asking the CCAA for his file by the end of May. Right now, his file is scheduled to go to another adoption agency here in the states. We're praying that the CCAA will grant our request and allow us to accept his referral.

Billy knows we are trying to adopt him. Our friend Sarah has been keeping him updated on what we're doing. And she has been keeping us updated on what he's doing. She has been an amazing friend to have during this time. She has been able to visit him in the orphanage and now she is able to talk with him on the phone every Saturday. I'm so grateful and thankful for this.

So right now we are doing what we can. We're praying a lot too. Praying for Billy's safety, protection, health, emotions, heart etc. He's anxious and ready to get out of the orphanage.

Be sure to check out this blog for any adoption updates.

Until next time....
