585 Dossiers Ahead of Us!

Just got an update from CHI.... there are now 585 dossiers ahead of us. Still stuck on that 2/17/06 lid -- that's the next one up for referrals and has been for months........."patience, patience, child," as my dad used to say. :)

Yesterday Brent and I met with a social worker from CHI named Ashley. She came to update our home study. This is necessary in order to get a one-time free extension on our I171-H form...the form from China that says we are eligible to adopt a child. It expires after 18 months, in our case, December 6, 2008. Our fingerprints also expired, after 15 months, in August of this year. We head to Kansas City on November 12 to get the FBI/USCIS check on the fingerprints again.

Once these things are done, we are good for another 18 months. Keep fingers crossed that we get a referral before then, so we don't have to do this again.

Happy Halloween :)
