When Greg and I went back to Mississippi for Christmas Mom had our 11th trimester gift waiting for us! December 9th marked the beginning of our 11th trimester. Francie has her first baby - an American Girl Bitty Baby!! She even has almond shaped eyes - just like her "mama" will!
A couple of weeks ago I caught up on the CCAI website on how things were looking time wise. For those who have submitted their dossier the current wait time is 34 months. The very next sentence said "prepare for the wait to get longer". We are about 2 months away from submitting our dossier. We have about 5 documents that are somewhere in the sealing process - should take a couple of more weeks to get all of them back. The rest of the wait is because of immigration.
We went to San Antonio on Thursday of last week for our "biometrics testing" at the Homeland Security office. It turns out that biometrics is fingerprinting! It's nice to know that the ball is rolling with immigration. We are very hopeful that we will get our approved I-800A within the next two months. Once we get that we will be able to submit our dossier to our agency. Once they receive it, they go through all of the documents with a "fine toothed comb" - 3-4 times to catch anything that may hold it up down the line. Once it is approved it is binded and partly translated into Chinese. Then they mail it to China! We are getting closer!!

That is too cute. What a lucky girl Francie is going to be! She doesn't even know it but she has a huge family already loving her.
Yea! We can't wait to meet that gorgeous girl!
