Fingerprinting done!!!


we were in and out of there in under 10 minutes!
those FBI people are efficient!
{except it was 3+ hours for my mom...and 2 hours driving for me...}

it was really nice to be with pat in daylight hours...just the 2 of us!

ignore the tired, wrinkled eyes...can you see the joy behind all those wrinkles for being 1 step closer to those 2 kids??

according to my calculations, we should receive our approval in about 2 weeks - 1 month from today. then we will get new physicals {because the one's we got for our home study will be too old...they only last 3 months} and then send all our paperwork {our dossier} to Rwanda!

WooHoo! Every step is oh so nice. How nice that you actually got to have the FBI to do it. A perk of being near DC. We had to go to the court house in Dallas. Definitely took longer than 15 minutes! I'll bet you get your approval fast. Ours took no longer than 2 weeks...and you are even skipping one step of having to mail it.
