Yay! I am so EXCITED! We got our I-171H form in the mail today! YEAH! That's our approval letter from the Department of Homeland Security to adopt! It states, "It has been determined that you are able to furnish proper care to an orphan..." I'm going to fax it to our agency in the morning. I'm not sure how long it takes them to send everything, but hopefully our paper work will go to Korea ASAP. They say 4-6 months for a referral! I pray we're on the shorter end of that because the wait to travel to get our baby will be forever (it will seem like forever to me), up to 6 months!
I can't describe how happy I am that we are finally at least at this point. It seems so far out of reach. This helps bring it a little closer to home. :)
Thank you everyone for all of your prayers! We are forever grateful to all of you who support us!
