Not much going on in adoption-land. Calendar is ticking ticking ticking....
Currently we are waiting for approval from USCIS (us government) to adopt a child born abroad. I keep hearing it's speeding up. It was 70+ days a couple months ago and today I saw two people approved in the 39 day range. There is HOPE!! We're 10 days in... our receipt date is 1/27. PRAY people... PRAY!! :-)
I've been busy pushing paper. Sent some documents off to be authenticated with the Chinese Consulate in Houston. Sent Emily Katherine's first care package filled with pictures, toys, books, and candy for the nanny's!
Other than that.... it's wait wait and wait some more.
I "get" that this isn't terribly exciting news.... but ... I wanted to keep you all updated!
We are busy preparing a place for her. I'm looking and looking at bedding and all the things you put in a little girl's room to make it absolutely perfect.
We DID receive our first gift for Emily this week. A co-worker of Rob's made a BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL blanket for our baby! It's perfect!!
We're eagerly waiting for the next step in our process. Praying that God is speeding things up every day!
With Love and Hope
Jenn & Rob
I love that you sent her a care package!!!!! You're amazing!! And the name, Emily Katherine, is just as lovely as she is.
