Brave enough to shout it to the world!

Hi. Thanks for visiting. Just provided the link on Facebook.

As of today, we're waiting for U.S. immigration (a.k.a. Homeland Security) to approve us to adopt from a foreign country. We still need to go to some government building to be fingerprinted to add to our application. Once we receive permission - (and wonder of wonders, we do expect to be approved) - we take a quick trip downtown to MO secretary of state, then send the whole bunch of documents to the China consulate in Chicago.

The process has us excited about getting the mail every day, since so much has depended on snail mail.

Just so you know, we haven't been matched yet, but we call our future little girl "Ming ming", or "Our China Doll".
