After a LONG day at work I get home to receive another letter from Homeland Security - pretty scary under any other circumstance. Well great news - they accepted our application (even without all the documentation the agency said we needed to send - didn't need it - followed the instructions on the application) - anyhow we have our appointment for biometrics (fancy name for fingerprinting)! December 17th! And best of all - I have that day off - so no extra vacation hours to be used to get this done!
Just a few weeks away and we'll be in the DHS system - but one more step closer to finalizing our Dossier and having it sent to ET! And just another step closer to bringing our little one home!
On a totally different note - I am on a few yahoo groups for Ethiopian Adoption. I was reading some posts last night about bringing your child to ET when you pick up your adopted child. A lot are taking kids Nate's age! So I was thinking what an experience that could be - maybe not the first trip as there is a LOT of extra travel. But the second trip is shorter and what a way for our family to really bond! And younger kids really do bond to the sibling quickly! So pending costs - its something to consider right now.
Everyone have a blessed thanksgiving holiday! I'm thrilled! Even in the cold and rain -we are venturing to the Detroit Thanksgiving Parade with friends! What a great tradition to start and carry on with a new one maybe next year! So watch for us on TV - I know its partly on a national parade shows - ha - like you will ever see us!
God Bless
