On Saturday, June 21, I sent off our United States Customs and Immigration application, better known in adoption land as USCIS clearance. I couldn't send it off until we had the homestudy and now that it's complete, the process can continue to move forward. I am not sure how long it will take, but I am guessing it will take three months or so. If anyone out there knows any different, feel free to post and let me know.
I bought M1 and M2 some books on adoption and they are great. One is called Waiting for May and it's about a big brother who is getting prepared to meet his sister who they are naming May. The other book is called Sisters. This is about an older girl who suddenly has an adoptive sister that is close to her age, but doesn't speak any English. It is a sweet book that tells both sides of the story.
On another note, a few weeks the kids and I went with a friend of mine and her two children, one of whom is adopted from Delhi, India, to the Global Mall in Atlanta. The kids had so much picking out Indian dresses and seeing the different cultures represented. M1 couldn't believe that the Indian mall had a dollar store. He was in Heaven!!! The pictures are of the kids in front of the entrance and M2 in her new Indian dress, which she loves! I am sorry she is turned sideways. Sara, I need your help in how to fix this!
I continue to be amazed at God's faithfulness. I can't wait until our Indian Angel is home!
