What a fabulous surprise~~

Ok I love the word art photography and just wanted so bad to do this but didn't expect our . . . What . . . That's right our LOA to come today!!  This my friends in the non adoption community means that 

This little angel

and this darling young man

Are officially PART OF OUR FAMILY!!

Best explained by our little man " It means if someone clicks on their picture then a sign comes up that they have a family.  No one else can get them EVER!"

I didn't realize what an amazing step this is until today.  From here on out it's just bureaucratic stuff so they both will be US citizens once they hit US soil.

Did I mention the amount of paperwork that goes with the bureaucratic stuff LOL!!

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!! I800-A

We got it!  After a very long wait for our I800-A and an RFE because our agency forgot to include our marriage certificate we got the approval today in the mail!  I do have to say though that they allowed us to email our marriage certificate and got the approval apparently all on the same day!!  Thanks USCIS!

Received April 14, 2011
Notice April 19, 2011
Fingerprints May 16, 2011
RFE received June 18, 2011
Approval June 20, 2011
Received June 23, 2011

And this is how I feel about this part of our trip!

Tomorrow to Denver to get our authentication and then Fedex to our agency!
