We received the approval for the addendum to our I-600 in the mail today. We are getting everything ready for our phone call with our referral. We found out yesterday that AIAA has not yet issued any referrals this year. We anticipate that EP's will start flowing soon (ok, praying they will). Once this begins, we anticipate referrals will start coming.
I promised myself that I will stay positive. Let me tell you, it is NOT easy. I remind myself that this is the "easy" part of the adoption process. Looking back, the hardest part is having the picture of your child and waiting for everything to be approved and receive the travel call. This takes months. Each day you wake up thinking about your child. You calculate what time it is in Korea. You wonder what your child is doing. What milestones am I missing? Will the Foster Mother document those first steps, first teeth, first words?
So for now we take it one step at a time. We file our I-600 and wait for the letter letting us know our fingerprints are expiring (June) and go on the date they assign to get fingerprinted again. We continue to pray each day for a child we do not yet know but that God knows.
