Dillon was notified by CIS that they will CONTINUE to process I-600a and I-600’s through the audit!!!! So that means they’ll be mailing our paperwork to the NVC soon. (They said next week but I don’t know why they are waiting another week to do it, I am praying it is TOMORROW!) Praise GOD that [...]

It appears we are now caught in a nationwide USCIS audit. They won’t be sending any I-600’s to NVC until after January 5. So even if we got approval (which I don’t know if we did or not) it will continue to sit on someone’s desk (because 80 days JUST WASN’T ENOUGH!) until [...]

Ryan saw something similar (with a real cat) on the Holt forums and so he wanted to show me that Tigger decided to do the same thing. So cute! Yes, I know our tree is leaning. It’s 11 years old and after 2 adoptions, we can’t afford a new one this year. LOL. Next [...]

Every day that we don’t have travel clearance, my heart just loses another piece. Every day that my STUPID GOVERNMENT doesn’t do what they are SUPPOSED TO DO, my heart loses another piece. My forum friends, who received their referrals after us, have TC. They are going to Korea to meet their precious children. [...]

Finally took some pics of Caro’s room!

I also took some pics to show you some outfits I put together.

Some dresses that Nana Holmoni bought

I can’t wait to start washing some of these! I still need to buy formula and food, but that will wait until we have TC. I AM SO READY!!!!!

Mike’s parents finally got back from Korea this week and they emailed about 40 pictures!! I have been trying to upload them to our photo website but for some reason it isn’t working…so I’ll just post a few here for now. My mother-in-law is the woman on the left and her older sister, our [...]

For about a week now I have been getting more and more depressed waiting for our precious girl. I thought that there would be no way it could happen because I am so busy and Ryan keeps me on my toes, so how could I get down? Well, it’s easy. It happens when you least [...]

A response from CIS. We got our receipt in the mail this weekend!!! The receipt itself is dated September 25 and the letter is dated October 14. They said it takes about 60 days for approval. Hopefully that means we have less than 35 days. It takes awhile for the approval to be sent to [...]

Isn’t she just beautiful?? We are SO in LOVE!! Ryan was yelling CAROLINE CAROLINE and racing around the room when we saw the new pics. Can you guess which picture is my favorite? hehe
Mike’s parents are supposed to call tonight so we can “talk” to Caroline on the phone when they meet her for the [...]

Woo hoo! We have EP. This means the Korean government gives us permission to adopt Caroline. The quoted time for Passport is 1-2 weeks. HOLY COW maybe we could travel earlier than December/January??? COME ON CIS APPROVE OUR I-600!!!
