WE GOT IT!!!

We got the approval ( I600A ) to adopt a little girl from Russia. We are still in Massachussettes visiting family, but we can't wait to get home and complete our dossier so that we can officially be on the waiting list WOOHOO!!!

We made it to Mass

The boys and I left for Cape Cod on Sunday, at 3:00 a.m. and we made it to my sisters house by Tuesday afternoon. The kids were AWESOME during the long drive. I drove 12 hours on the first 2 days and 7 on the last day. We made a stop at Hershey Park to do the tour ride and buy some chocolate. After being in the car all day, Alex ( 2 year old ) ran around like a crazy man lol. He was trying to grab everything that he saw and he was following the chocolate bar characters around saying " hi chocolate ". Ron and I may take the boys there again on our way back to Texas. We may also go to New York City because Nicholas ( 5 year old ) was only a baby the last time we went to New York. He would get a huge kick out of the Empire State Building. We still haven't heard from immigrations yet ( sigh ) . I was hoping that we would hear something soon, but no such luck.

LOOK AT WHAT I FOUND IN MY EMAIL TODAY!!!!!

Hello Frank Family,

It is with great pleasure and excitement to inform you that Frank Adoption Center, NC has been reaccredited by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation as of June 27, 2007. Frank is one of seven American agencies to be reaccredited! We are formally notifying all of our families today of this wonderful news and you will find this information on our website by the week's end. We are also including a copy of the ORDER, both the English translated version and the Russian version for you to see.

Thank you so much for your continued support and patience during the past 13 months!

Warm regards,

We got our appointment!

We got our fingerprint appointment for this Friday. My sister and her kids are visiting from Mass. so we decided to make a day out of it and go to the San Antonio zoo. I leave for Mass. in about a week and a half, so it doesn't look like our dossier will be complete until mid to late August. SOOO frustrating ! I'm not even on the waiting list until the adoption agency receives our dossier. I will post pictures this weekend.
