Finally moving forward!

Well, we are just one day from sending in the preliminary package to Commonwealth to be put on the waiting list! I created our photo album through the kodak website and the album should be delivered tomorrow!

While we are on the waiting list, the next step is to apply to US CIS. We will fill out an I-600A form and pay yet another fee. This is what the Commonwealth website states:

1. After you submit your I-600A and fee they will wait for your home study and then send your fingerprint appointment. Get your fingerprints taken as directed in the US CIS letter. The fingerprint results will automatically go to US CIS.

2. US CIS will mail to you pre-approval to adopt an orphan from overseas. It’s called an I-171H and is a one page white letter. Your I-171H from US CIS is very important. We will send it to the country from which you are adopting along with your Home Study as part of your Dossier.

Hey there~

Glad we're in the same boat with the adoption and on the same track together it seems. We're sending in our preliminary package as well but we've already sent out our I-600A form and are waiting on the fingerprint stuff.
Keep in touch and thanks for the comment on our blog!
Happy Holidays!
