For those of you who read this blog to keep up with the adoption process, here is what is happening now.
* We have now been waiting 14 months
* After this much time, all of the stuff that you did has to be 'updated'
* So, we had our home study update-- new visit from the social worker to discuss what has changed in the past year (not much)
* We got updated physicals with Dr. Thacker (our GP) for the completion of the home study update
* We just got our letter from CIS (Citizenship and Immigration Services) for appointments to have our fingerprints 'updated' (because those change... whatever...)
* I have everything ready to send off to have our I600A extended (form that allows one to bring an orphan from another country into the US). (can't be sent off until 3 months until it is about to expire)
* The most recent baby referral went to someone who had waited for 17.5 months. The next person on the list waiting for a baby has a date at the very end of October or beginning of November, 2006.
* Our date is 1/16/07.
That's all she wrote!

i will never, ever understand why we have to redo fingerprints that were taken digitally. Unreal. Just wait! When you do the re-adoption, you do it again!
I tell ya, if we committed a crime, they'd sure as heck be able to use "old" fingerprints.....!!!
On another note -- I was going back and forth a little today with a person here in CO who commented on my blog, and she's with an agency that's brand new in Ethiopia, and she's being told 12-18 months for a sibling group. So it sounds like the other agencies are catching up to the long wait, too. OK. I'll shut up now :-)
you know you guys are so sneaky that you are 'scraping' off your fingerprints in order to go on a crime spree!! It sucks that you guys are having to jump through so many hoops. I wish I could snap my fingers and you guys have the most perfect little angel calling you mommy and daddy. Let us know if their is anything we can do to help out!
