thanks, Happy Hour…..for your comments. It is not only anticipating the arrival of our baby from China, but the difficulty of watching our daughter in law and son wait and wait and wait for this reality. I just respect all of you with your acts of faith in this process. these babies will be so lucky to be your child! I am also waiting for a daughter and son in law’s baby boy from Guatemala. My daughter spent 3 days and nights with him….and is in such pain now at the separation and the wait. Bring all of these babies home!!!! That is the prayer!!!!

It’s 12:37 pm here in West-Europe and I just read some European boards (OK, I shall not tell which country) where everybody is asking the same question : where o where does the rumor August 15 come from?
Is it really tater it looks like telling this ?

I’m freakin’ out, because my Lid is august,23 and I’m already planning my adoption leave (in my head) for the month of December with a possible referral at the end of October :^)

CWS and Cungar, – So sorry I’ve been off for a while…..(had to have a crown fitted on my tooth :-( ) Anyway, My Michigan agency is telling me to hurry up and send in my renewal for my I-171H as I expire Dec 28. They are saying give it 3 months. I’ve been checking elsewhere, and some ‘Lucky” folks are getting it through in Michigan in much less time.. (they need to speed up! They are going through Detroit and they take forever. They used to go through a woman in Sault Ste. Marie, and they were processed SO fast! like 3 weeks! ) My agency is warning me to get it sent in and I’m hoping for a huge batch of referrals where I would feel comfortable believeing that I’m getting my referral in October, if the referrals are slim, My paperwork will be sent in as soon as my husband has yet another medical for this marathon event! I’m concerned enough about $$ to gamble and not pay the $545. I think I’m going to try and get in touch with some at the USCIS in MI.. Probably another act of congress!

Sorry for the long dissertation, but I’m gambling spending another $545 when I’m concerned about paying for the trip!! I guess the worse thing is we have to wait another month to travel, I believe…

Come on US Congress… make the silly I-171H last 24 months for pete’s sake!!!!!

Well, I’ve been reading all day at work and I hope everything turns out right. I’ve been writing 8/19 all day instead of 9/18, maybe my brain is trying to get out what my heart hopes—referrals through the 19! I just want some of August, I’ll hope for the 14,15,18 or 19th so long as they finish August in October.
