Yeah, I couldn't think of a better title for this post. Oh well...its my blog. My first blog, in fact.
So, it seems appropriate to start with where we are in the adoption process. We are finished with our home study, and waiting on our I-800 form to be approved by some US gov't agency. I think the immigration department? If that's all Greek to you, read this post.
Anyway, once the I-800 is done, then we can go on the waiting list at Dillion. Except we already have two sisters picked out from their "waiting child" list. I guess I should explain that. Look here.
The two girls we are adopting are on the waiting child list already, because they are siblings must be adopted as a pair. Unfortunately, we can't officially be matched with them until our I-800 is finally done (danged slow beaurocrats...). Once that is done, we can be matched with them, and then there are two court hurdles to pass, each taking between 2 and 4 months. So, it could be as early as March, or sometime next summer that we bring them home.
It gets a lot harder to wait when you know their names and faces.
