Finally, an adoption update

We got the long awaited I-800A approval this week. We sent our packet out the last week of October '08 to US immigration. It was quite the wait...seems too long...but I don't remember much of it. Time goes by in a blur. Now we are ready to receive a referral for our baby. Another period of waiting. Not sure how long it will take...a week...a month? My hope is before the end of February. We are the only family ready for a referral, so it shouldn't take too long. Once we receive a referral, more paperwork must be filled out and sent back to immigration. Of course, I will post pictures as soon as I am able.
