Acceptance

We have signed, dated, fill in blank spaces, notarized, written a large check, double checked everything, organized, stressed, celebrated, rejoiced, prayed, overlooked, copied, sealed, and mailed our acceptance paperwork.



It is one step closer to my baby.

For our acceptance paperwork we needed all our last years taxes, birth certificates, marriage license, W2s, and lots of copies. We had to get several forms notarized. Then we sent some forms to our local branch agency and sent the majority of them back to our main branch in Oregan.

Next we wait on our legals. The legals come from Korea. Once we get our unpatient patient little hands on them, then we send them to our USCIS along with our I600 form. This form is to petition to our USCIS that Lennox is an orphan and we are going to adopt her. We wait for them to approve it and send it back to Korea. I am slightly nervous about this process because just this week they changed the process of this form. In the past we sent our I600 to our local USCIS. However, now we send them to Texas to begin the process. Then Texas sends them to our local USCIS. We are praying for a speedy acceptance from our USCIS.

Lennox should have had a well baby check this week or the week before. It normally takes a little while until Korea sends them over to us to have. I am praying for a good report and for some updated pictures of our baby girl. She will be six months old on Friday! The only pictures we have of her are newborn. She has probably changed so much in six months and I just want to see those beautiful changes that I am missing of her precious life right now. She is being well taken care of by a wonderful family in Korea and we are so grateful for that family who is caring and loving on her daily for us.

We are putting together a care package for our Lennox right now and I will show pictures of her goodies soon. I am making her something and I will be sharing what it is along with some other surprises.

Your going to enjoy my surprise!
