We're approved!!!!

Just received a phone call from our SW, we have matching approval from HK!!! My grandfaher passed away on the night of Dec. 23, 2007 so we have had a rough few days, this was quite a blessing to hear!!!!! We should have him home soon!!!

What now?!

Just received a letter from USCIS requesting an addendum to our home study. Apparently it recommends us for approval, but should state we are approved by our home study preparer. I have contacted our SW and am waiting a return call from her. I was SOooooo excited when I seen the letter, thinking it was our 171 form, but it's not. Hopefully all will happen soon. It's getting more and more frustrating, but I need to keep it in proper perspection, it has only been 4 months. It seems longer to us because we first seen Zech in April. Nothing more from HK yet, so still waiting there too. Merry Christmas!

New DVD

Well, we received a new dvd of Zechariah!! He has grown so much since the last one, and he is cuter than ever!! We will not be getting him before Christmas, our hopes now are by his 4th birthday(Feb. 25). We are still waiting for the official match from HK, then we will have to wait for high court order. The adoption process has went really well, it is the wait that is driving us all crazy! I am still getting his room ready. We have presents for him, clothes (though he will need a lot more!) and misc. stuff. At the end of Oct., Zechariah was 35 inches tall and weighed 25lbs. He is a tiny little boy!! Each day we anxiously wait for the mail to run, hoping we will have news about him, usually there is nothing, so the day we received the new dvd was very exciting. Its about 35 minutes long and I have watched it over and over, always noticing something new each time. Can't wait to hold our son!!!
