We've been given the go ahead by our agency to start in on our next set of paperwork. Did I mention before the amount of paperwork we have to do for adoption?!
Tons.
But all for a precious cause.
We need to complete the I800 (Petition to Classify Convention Adoptee as an Immediate Relative), I-864 (Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the Act - we assume certain specific obligations under the Immigration and Nationality Act and other Federal Laws), and the DS-230 (application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration) ready to submit for when we receive our LOA (which in reality, is still weeks, months away).
These papers are not necessarily hard to fill out, but stressful in a way as you do not want to make any little mistake. Any little mistake could cause your paperwork to be sent back, resulting in more time, frustration, you get the picture.
Thankfully, this set will be sent to our Agency first so they will be able to preview before it is all sent!
Have I mentioned before that adoption is HARD?
It is hard, emotional, expensive, and really tests your patience. And that's before your child comes home!
But it is one of the BEST blessings we could ever receive.
"And whoso shall receive one such little child in My name receiveth me". Matthew 18:5
Our family now...
Now unto Him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the Power that worketh in us. Ephesians 3:20
