Finally, today...one week after we were informed of our RFE by USCIS...our agency emailed all the required documentation to our officer and 2 hours later she informed me that we had been approved.
The Department of Homeland Security has approved our request to adopt a child from China!
We are so glad this step is now behind us but we know that means there are new steps with more waiting ahead. But at least we are baby steps closer to seeing our child's face for the first time....no, really, this is more than just a baby step!
Tim and Dawn received their approval the day after we got notice of our RFE...so they have been patiently waiting for us to also be approved.
Next step: Take the I-800A approval notice (aka I-797 form) to Harrisburg to be certified then to DC to be authenticated by the Department of State and the Chinese Embassy. Then our dossier will be complete and can be sent to China.
