OCTOBER
2005
On 10/6/05 drove to Chattanooga in heavy
rain to pick up homestudy. Then went to Staples and made 4 copies of all
originals and certifications.
On 10/7/05 drove back to Chattanooga to get
homestudy county certified and again it was
raining cats and dogs.
On 10/9/05 went to Staples and made copies
of homestudy and certification.
On 10/11/05 we were fingerprinted in
Nashville and had all documents state
certified as well…long day!
On 10/12/05 I spoke to Trish at Zach Wamp’s
office and she said allow USCIS 6 weeks to
process and if I don’t have my approval to
call her back and she can do a congressional
inquiry.
On 10/13/05 began looking at various options
for creating an adoption journey website.
Really loved the designs of
myadoptionwebsite.com!
On 10/21/05 found a number for USCIS and
called it yesterday. I got a call back
today from Jeanine and she said we would get
form by 12/6/05, which will be 8 weeks from
the day of fingerprinting. Also finished up
application letter to CCAA and had it
notarized at the bank.
On 10/24/05 went to court house and received
Jurat for application letter to CCAA.
Then made copies and sent to the Tennessee
Secretary of State. We should have it
back by Thursday or Friday and then will
send on to the “Assistant Stork”.
I must share this little funny from Mel!
This morning I rushed downstairs to check
myadoptionwebsite.com and see the
progress of all the families in China right
now. Well Mel yelled for me and when he
realized I was downstairs on the computer he
said, "my honey is turning into a
compoootr!" "She can't
sleep, she can't eat she is always on the
computer". He called me a
computer junkie. I think he would
be a junkie too if he was hooked on APC and
all the family websites I follow like
gwenblog and waiting for sophie and others.
Following all these stories confirms that
one day we will be in China meeting our
daughter for the first time. Reading the
journals and seeing the pictures and videos
make it very real. |
