YAY, we've been watching the mail for our decoder ring and it has arrived - the I-800A approval. We received it yesterday about 4 days after our fingerprint appointment. We did our our fingerprints on Tuesday morning. Within the hour, we were on our way to the bank to have everything notarized. The notary was a young woman who was new at being a notary and was a little bit nervous about the cover letter for most of the documents. But, we did get it done. On Monday, Jerry will take all of the documents to Olympia, the capitol, about and hour and 1/2 to 2 hours away to get everything apostilled. By Monday evening, the comleted dossier should be on it's way via Fed Ex. Then we wait some more :( I really don't do that part well. We are hoping for the first trip in May.
Our stateside facilitator suggested that after the first trip, we may want to hire a local to give Troy english lessons to prepare him for the transission. Apparently, this isn't too expensive and could really help. We didn't do that with Kaden and Meghan. Would love to hear from anyone who may have done this.
On a side note, we received an email last night from one of the workers at Kaden's orphanage. She is wanting to hear about him and his family. Can't wait to tell her how well he is doing and send over some pictures.
With our dreary weather during the winter, we have mostly been held up in the house annoying each other. The first day of spring we got about 3 inches of snow (this is Seattle, mostly rain). Can't wait for the weather to get nicer so we can get out and take some pictures we can share. I know how people like pictures.
