I800a is out the door!!! The last step!

As you can probably tell by the date on today's post, we didn't get the paperwork until 7/7/2012... I was so anxious for the mail lady to get here and of course she was an hour later than normal.... Total killer. To make sure we didn't miss her Toby stood watch. What a good big brother


Kenton and I were so excited we ripped open the package and started reviewing and completing the forms. Wellllll they are done and we are dropping them off at FedEx! This is the last thing we need before Poland will start the process of matching us with our children!

For our family and friends who have no idea what an I800A is well.. It is a form requesting that immigration allows us to adopt in Poland and have the children recognized as US citizens once we are back in the US. Once Poland matches us with our children we then send the I800 and that changes the approval from any two children to the specific names of our children.... Yep that means more immigration paperwork once we know our children!

This process should take 4-6 weeks. I will make another entry at our next fingerprint appointment. After the fingerprints it should take two weeks for the I797 (approval from immigration) and then we send all that to Poland.

Today it feels super official, we will have children soon!
