Fingerprinting is done. Dave and I went to GR Tuesday April 29 for our 3rd fingerprinting adventure. We will probably have to wait about 2 months for our I-171h ( immigration pre-approval to adopt a child internationally) to come back. We can then get our dossier authenticated in Lansing and finally send it to the Kazakhstan embassy in Washington. Keep you fingers ( and toes) crossed.
My friend Heidi from work is also adopting from Kazakhstan and is about 2 months ahead of us. We are trying to keep each other sane.
About Kazakhstan
