Week What?

Whew. We finally got our home study report back from the court, approved! Now we are officially licensed to adopt in the state of Arizona. All of the failed ttc, fertility treatment, and surrogacy attempts have brought us to this piece of paper telling us we're fit to be parents. It's funny what it takes to feel validated.

In the next day or so, I'll send in our home study to USCIS so we can begin the next wait for our immigration fingerprint appointment, and then the coveted I-171H form. Once that form arrives, we can get all of our paperwork authenticated, and send it to our agency for review. And that's it folks - barring errors, we'll be officially waiting. For a projected couple of years, but waiting nonetheless. We're on our way...

That is cool. I hope the rest goes fast for you. Keep in mind that when your stuff makes it to the agency, you will wait some more. They sure like making us wait :)

YEA! Home study, down; I-171H to go. I just sent my paperwork to USCIS last week, too--to change from China to Vietnam. So we'll both be waiting on USCIS...
