Fingerprint Appt Notice

The last couple of weeks have flown by. Mike and I went to Korea night last Thursday. Most of the people there are people in the process of adoptiong. It was lots of fun. We learned about what things are like in the Korean society and why mother chose to place their children for adoption. We also learned a little bit about what to expect while we are in Korea. We also got to try some more Korean food. It was all very Yummy. At break time we went to the traveling Korean Market.

When we were at the workshop we were talking with a few couples that had recently got their referrals. They had both gotten their referrals in 5 months and they had requested girls. Things are looking good. They are quoting 9-12 month waits for girls. So it was nice to hear they got there referrals in less time. We are open to either gender. I hope things keeping moving along. I expect with the Holidays quickly approaching thing will start to slow down a bit though.

Mike and I have so many books to read before our little one comes home. Luckily winter coming so we'll be in the house more.

Mike and I got our notices in the mail from the immigration office. We have to go and get our fingerprints done for the third time on N0v 20th. One more thing to check off the list of things to do. Yay.

That's all for now. Mike and I can't wait for Vacation :-)

Last couple of weeks

Wow mid Oct already! Mike and I have been keeping busy the last few weeks. We filed our I600-A at the beginning of the month and got our receipt that they received it on Wed Oct 10th. We are now waiting to receive the letter that will tell us when we need to go get finger printed. Yup, we have to get finger printed for a third time. Things are moving along with the Korea program with our agency. They had 15 referrals last month.

Mike and I went to Explore Korea at CHSFS on Oct 11th. We had lots of fun. We got to try on and get our picture taken in a Hanbok. Mike's was a little small. We also got to sing some Korean children songs and try some Korean snacks and we made a toy. It was so fun to see all the families and meet some people that have already been through the process. On Oct 25th we are going to Korea Night at CHSFS. This is for families that are in the process of adopting. We will learn more about the Korean Culture.

We have so much planned for the next several weeks time should really fly by. We are taking a trip to San Fransisco In November for our 5 year anniversary. We are really looking forward to to.

Well that all for now.
