We've been fingerprinted...

Yay for Beth at the adoption agency, she asked me last week when Kailey and I stopped by to return some books to their "library" if we had received our fingerprinting appointment yet and I told her we had but that due to President Ford's death it didn't happen. Well typically if you can't make an appointment the form tells you to go in on any Wednesday to get it done, after your original appointed time. Well to see if this was ok due to ours being cancelled because the office was closed, I called the toll free info line to see if we could do this and was told we had to wait till we were reassigned an appointment and that could take 30+ days. So I told Beth of this and she seemed a bit puzzled about that. So Beth called on Tuesday this week to see if we had gotten it yet and I told her we hadn't, so she said let me make a phone call and see if we can't get you in. About 15 minutes later she called back and said you can go in anytime tomorrow between 8am-3pm, I said great!!! So Jason took Wednesday off at work, didn't have much going for once, and we went and were fingerprinted. So now that the federal government has our fingerprints on file we'll have to stay out of trouble....hehehe. But that small hurdle has been jumped and we are now just waiting on that final document to result from all of this and we will pretty much have our "application" = Dossier complete!!!!!!!

How exciting! As much as I hate that it has taken so long to get this all done, I know it is for a reason - so the timing is just right and we are "matched" with the little girl that is destined to be a blessing in our lives.

I will let you know when our Dossier is officially complete and ready to be sent to China!

Until then, take care!
