This is the first time ever that I have ever created a blog. I have only visited one other blog so I am VERY new to this process.
Where to begin? I have no idea. Well I'll just "dive in" with it. Yesterday Sam and I received in the mail our 4th and final approval of the I-600A. This form allows us to adopt our baby from China. We were very excited about this as our previous I-600A was due to expire on 9/30/10 and we VERY close to getting our referral or match from China.
When we started this process in October 2005 the wait was only about 8 months long. However when our paper work was logged into China on May 18, 2006 the wait time had steadily increased and has from that point on.
After years of no movement we FINALLY seeing some movement. The last e-mail match update for the standard program had matched families with dossier logged into China throuh May 15, 2006. Our LID (log in date) is May 18, 2006 - THREE DAYS DIFFERENCE!!
Finally!! We are now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! After years and years of wondering if this were ever going to happen we can now begin to dream the dreams that new parents have!
