As we were heading out the door last Thursday for a quick weekend trip to Chicago (we LOVE that city!), we checked the mail and were thankful to receive our new I171-H. I mentioned previously that we were applying to expand our age parameter so this is not new news; I just wanted to post for the sake of keeping an accurate accounting of our adoption journey. The I171-H is issued by the USCIS and, basically, gives us permission/approval to bring a child into the US. We had originally applied and received approval for a 3-5 year old girl. Our new I-171H approves us for a 2-6 year old girl. The process was an easy one and now...we wait some more.
You'd think, by now, we'd be getting good at it. (Waiting, that is). Well, not so much.
Soon we will turn our calendars to a new month and that means that we will get a new update regarding where we are on the wait list. I hear that there have been two, maybe three (or four) referrals given in the month of October but I only know of one of those that affect our position. We should be at least #8 on the list as of November 1st. We'll see if there are any other surprises.
