| We got our letters on Saturday from the office of Citizenship & Immigration Services (CIS) to get our fingerprints done. This is a big step. First, it means that CIS which is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (there's an oxymoron for you) has received our home-study. Second the fingerprinting is required for CIS to evaluate and eventually grant us the right to bring a foreign adopted child into the U.S. and have them become a U.S. citizen. |

Just had to comment on the fingerprinting thing. So I went this morning to get my fingerprints done. Well, I was the only person in the office with about 10 CIS workers standing around chatting. The funniest part was I still had to walk through three lines and deal with four different people to finally get my prints done.
At Disneyland when there aren't that many people waiting they don't make you walk the entire queue. There's a lesson there I'm sure of it.

Hooray for your fingerprint appointment. You're on the way for sure now!

SO GREAT TO GET ANOTHER STEP COMPLETED!!!
It amazes me how different the process can be from East to West coast. We had to have the CIS//INS prints completed before the HS could be released to the INS.

Great news! One step closer.

"The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a democracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it."
