Random cuteness

Boy of many expressions ...

Wonder who taught him that?!?
Mom always needs help in the kitchen.
This is what happens when the 13-year-old brother gives baths. It's only a half bottle of bubbles.


Adoption update: We hope to have our signed home study in hand this week! Then we will send the I-800A, home study and supporting docs to CIS/NBC in Chicago where it will take approximately 4 months for our file to be assigned an officer who will then hopefully approve our application within 5 weeks after that. By that time (5 months from now!) our dossier will be complete and ready to send to China immediately upon receipt of the I-171H. To cut to the chase ... maybe by June or July we could be matched with our waiting child. Of course, CIS has been hoping to streamline the approval process from 120 down to 30 days. We can only hope ...

  1. Your homestudy this week--that's awesome! We're still waiting on my fingerprints from FBI (it will be six weeks Thursday). I'm hoping to travel by the end of the year...

  4. Crazy the time is getting longer and longer with immigration. A local friend got her approval around 70 days. Praying they can work that out soon. What agency are you using?
