We went today for our I-600A U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services fingerprinting. Thanks to Mrs. Andrea (Mary Poppin... really she comes with her own bag and everything) for watching Jonah. We did this back in May 2007. It will be in place for 18 months (hopefully we won't have to do another one.....which would mean we'd have our baby girl here in the United States). Time will tell.We did get an update from our agency here in the U.S. and the Chinese agency. They are putting pressure onto China realizing the longer waits means upset / sad parents and parents to be. It means people looking beyond China and adopting other places- which means less money for China. It means people are not trusting the agencies and word of mouth is the best or could be the worst public relations for them. As for us, we're still in line, getting to know other families who are over adopting in China as we write, watching them transition home, and chatting with other families waiting from all over the world- what a great network. So until we get "the call"- we wait.
