An important paper came today!

We received the form from USCIS today saying that our fingerprints have been approved. This is big big news because as of today, we are officially on the waiting list for a referral!!

Fingerprinted

C and I had a very productive morning! Our first stop took us to the Sheriff's dept to get our criminal record checks. You'll all be surprised to hear that they are all clear :) :) The next stop was to the other side of the Triangle to the USCIS office for fingerprinting. Apparently the security there is tighter than the airport. I had to throw away the snacks I brought to entertain the littlest girl. Plus the guy dug into my purse.. did you know I had four sets of random keys in there? Neither did I! But, after the somewhat embarrassing trip through security, the rest was fine. We waited for a few minutes then had our turn with the fingerprinting computer. Its all electronic, and non-messy. Plus the young woman taking care of us was very sweet and wanted to talk about the kids (present and future) the whole time.

Two more things to mark off the to-do list!

Accepted!

I received an email from WACAP today that we have been accepted into the Ethiopia program!

These words came to me today during some quiet time... "It's my job to hear you when no one else does." At the time, I was thinking about our child who may or not even be conceived yet, much less on this earth. So, Im not sure if it is my message to him, or my message from Him.
