Oh Happy Day!

This could possibly be the first happy day in this journey called adoption. We received our approval letter from DCFS today and it has now been Fed Ex'd to USCIS and should be arriving in Chicago on Monday morning. What this means for those of you who don't know is that now we wait, yet again, but this time we are waiting for our I171-H, which is our approval to bring orphans into the U.S. This is the last piece of paperwork we need to complete our dossier so we can become a waiting family. Who says that Friday the 13th is a bad day, to Matt and I this was a Good Good Day. And my birthday is Sunday so Happy Birthday to me, the best birthday gift I could get, at this stage of the game anyway. Hopefully next years birthday will be meeting our children for the first time. Of course if this were to happen before my birthday that would be okay too. Okay so now we need prayers that we will get our 171h soon, definately faster than we got our approval letter that is for sure.
