Still riding the excitement of the party last weekend (our total is now up to $2350!), we got an email from our social worker on Tuesday saying that she received word from US Immigration that we have been approved! What does this mean? We think this means that we are finished with the US side of things. We think that the US will send our approval to the US Embassy in Haiti and that when things are approved by Haiti they'll see that the US has approved us and will be ready to issue the visa. This is good! Despite all of the fingerprinting mishaps, we were still approved and without losing any time, it seems.
We've got November on the brain, since that was our lawyer's last estimate and are excited that it's really just right around the corner. Now that we've been approved by the US, we might take a leap of faith and starting getting some of those items we were afraid to get before, like the crib mattress and a giant car seat.
Sean had his first day at Friends of the Orphans today and I'm eagerly awaiting his arrival home so I can hear all about it.
We've been amazed at all of the people and businesses quite close to our home that were affected by the storms last Friday night, losing power and trees, and are feeling even more fortunate that our house was somehow spared all of that and that the party was able to go on.
Sean's home and said his first day was great! If you haven't yet, check out the website at www.friendsoftheorphans.org.
