Our dossier is ready to go to Ethiopia except for one little piece of paper. The approval from Homeland Security to immigrate an orphan. We were fingerprinted on Sept. 2. We received a request for more evidence about our homestudy less than two weeks after that. We responded within a week – thanks to our excellent adoption specialist. Now, a week later, I am singing, “Where, oh, where could my approval be? Oh, where, oh where could it be?”
Today, I was certain it would be in that pile of mail that always appears in my mailbox. I was so sure. Of course, I was certain yesterday, too.
