Another Step Closer

Happy, happy Friday! Went to the mailbox today, & there it was...the "Golden Ticket"! We got our 171H approval today, which is the "favorable determination" to obtain a visa for an orphan we adopt from another country. I am so excited to receive this already since we just had our fingerprinting done on January 26th. I have been told by some bloggy friends that their states are a little (or a lot) pokey with the process.

So, this was some very good news today. We are becoming more & more anxious to travel to bring our little boy home. Word has it from some adoptive families that have just returned that our little guy is sweet, loving, & super smart with a good dose of ornery mixed in.

Now, we continue to wait for a court date..........
