We haven't entered a post for a while because we haven't had any news to enter. Many of you have asked what it is that we're waiting for. Well...to the best of our knowledge our adoption agency is still preparing our file to be submitted to the US embassy. This preparation involves issuing a new birth certificate and US passport for each child. The agency also closely reviews all of our documents up to this point to make sure they are all correct and can stand up to scrutiny of the embassy. Our agency quoted 8-16 weeks from our court date to submission and we are now on week 8, so things are proceeding as scheduled. Half of the couples we travelled with have been submitted to the embassy, so our hope is that our turn is coming soon.
Typically, the embassy will grant an interview for the kids' visa about three weeks after a case has been submitted to them. That interview is the last step in the process and when complete we can bring the kids home!
So, that's what we're waiting for.
