We've been cleared!

The mail man showed up at our door this morning with registered mail. We were so happy to see the return address of the FBI. All three of our FBI clearances were there and we have all been cleared, what a relief! Ha-ha
Now our agency will mail off our I-800A form, we wait to be finger printed again and then they will mail us a I-171, then finally our paper work can be mailed to China and we can be matched with Leah! I'm still thinking it will be towards the end of March when we are matched. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and quickly.. Happy New Year everyone. 2011 will be the year we become a family of 6, how exciting and scary.

Come on FBI clearances

We hope everyone had a  Merry Christmas. We sure did, we spend it with our family and enjoyed some much needed down time at home with just the 5 of us. I've been having issues with one member of our extended family, but I didn't let her ruin my Christmas.  The kids enjoyed their new gifts and the time we spend together.  We thought about Leah Grace and how next Christmas she will be home with us, enjoying the gifts and holidays with us. Santa brought her a baby doll and bedding for her room, her sister Jenna bought her a toy cell phone and sippy cups and her Nana and Papa got her a blanket and piggy bank with her name on it.

We are still waiting on our FBI clearances to come back, I think they have been come about 8 weeks now, I asked Scott was he hiding anything from me that would cause the long delay, ha-ha. Once we get this back we will have a 30 day wait for the I-171H form, then we will have everything sent to China. We first hoped for a February match, but it's looking more like a March match. Still much faster then Jenna's adoption, so no complaints from me just yet!!  Happy New Year everyone...
