Paperwork woes

We had a heck of a time getting a home study even started several months ago then we decided to move so our agency wanted to wait until then to to finish the home study so most of our paperwork either expired (it can only be a few months old when it gets to the girls country) or had to be redone because of having a new address and being in a different county. 

We finally are almost done with both the home study update and our dossier. Our agency is waiting on our background check results and one more reference. Hopefully all of that will be done in the next 2 weeks. The next step after that is sending it to USCIS for approval. We still have approval from them for one child so we just need an update from them which shouldn't take very long for them to do. I'm praying and hoping to submit our dossier mid Feb but that will all depend how fast USCIS works:( I'm afraid it will be more toward the end of Feb. That means I could get travel dates anywhere from the end of March to the beginning of May. It sounds like a long way away but really it's not, I'm just ready to get there and start that part of the process to get my kids home! 

I'll leave you with some cute pics of my other kids for now.
