Well, the adoption is literally out of my hands now! Our dossier was sent off today and should be in Ghana this time next week. Our last dossiers to go over went to court about 3 weeks later, so I am hoping for a late April/early May court date for Kendi!
Our homestudy made it to USCIS today. Hopefully they will respond quickly with fingerprint appointments so we can officially start that wait. They say 60 days from the time the application packet is complete, but I'll get our elected official involved to ask for expediting if we get an adoption decree before we have approval. They've been good about that stuff in the past.
They are supposed to apply for Kendi's passport next week. Praying bigtime about that one! If all things go well (USCIS, court, passport) I could be up for a trip to Ghana in a few months! Crazy! The financial side is starting to worry me a bit more, because we still need $5500 to finance the adoption and it seems like most grants take several months to be considered and/or awarded. But faith! Gotta have faith!

Holy paperwork Batman! How cool that you've got everything on your end done. Woohoo! Congrats! I'm sure that feels great/scary now that it's out of your control. I always hate that part.
