It was a good day. I finally worked on a paper rewrite that I'd been putting off for months; we were part of an excellent Praise Band rehearsal and watched a silly movie with a friend afterward; and Jim put our I-600A application in the mail to the Department of Homeland Security.
The I-600A is the Application for Advance Processing of Orphan Petition. It means that we don't have a child in mind to adopt yet, but we'd like to have official permission to search for one. It was accompanied by our homestudy, our birth and marriage certificates, and (of course) another check. After reviewing it, the sub-department of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will mail us an appointment to have our fingerprints taken. Once we're cleared by the FBI database, they'll send us official permission from our government to move forward with the international adoption process.
In other news: less than two weeks until Alaska!
