Mailed I600-A & Homestudy Date
The I-600A Application for Immigration of a Child was mailed last Saturday & received safely in Dallas on Monday. Just in time before the Thanksgiving Holiday. It usually takes CIS approx. 60 days to process the application & forward approval to HoChiMinh City. They cannot complete it until they receive our HomeStudy. We also got a call from our Social Worker, Heather, who will be doing our home-study. Friday, December 8th is the firs visit & then we will meet with her in Dallas over the holidays to do a second, less formal, visit. She hopes to have our homestudy complete & back to Dillon by the first of January. So, looks like December will be eventfull. I take my Life & Health Insurance test on December 6th. Hopefully, I will pass the first time so I can get going with AFLAC. Need some extra money to pay for all of this little journey! :) Happy Holidays. We put up our Christmas tree yesterday....Blake is sick with a Fever. :( Hung an ornament with an angel on it for Caleigh: "Dear Santa: Please send an angel to watch over Caleigh at Christmas time & always...."

On Nov. 11th, we attended a Pre-Adoption workshop in Dallas. It was nice & we were able to meet many other couples adopting with our agency.

Today Is the First Day...
Ok, I truly cannot believe I figured this out! I actually created a Blog. If you knew me, you might be surprised! I am looking forward to being able to log everything that happens on our adoption journey. So far, we have been approved by Dillon to adopt a little girl from Vietnam. We are sending in the paperwork on Monday for our homestudy to begin. Also, we are filing the I-600A Orphan Petition on Monday. We will keep you posted on our journey to Caleigh!
