Last week, we dragged the kids down to Sacramento to get adoption paperwork authenticated, and have our fingerprints taken by CIS (Customs & Immigration). We were told that fingerprint clearances typically take 2 months or more. Today, we got our approved fingerprint clearances and our I-800 form informing us that, "You have been approved to adopt one child from the following Convention country: People's Republic of China."
What was supposed to take 2 MONTHS took less than 5 business days!
People have been asking what they can pray for, and we we've been saying a miracle in the paperwork. I'd say this qualifies!
Next we are going to try a mad dash trip back to Sacramento to get this form authenticated, and then down to San Fransisco to the Chinese Consulate to get ALL of our paperwork approved (about 500 miles all together).
This is our last step in getting our dossier ready for submission overseas, which puts us one step closer to bringing our daughter home to her forever family!
PRAISE GOD!!! How exciting!!!
