Dossier Complete!

I haven't posted in a while, but a lot has been happening.  We finally received our I800A approval notice, so it's on to the next step.....sending the dossier to Colombia!  Yesterday, I dropped off the last 3 Apostilled documents needed to complete our dossier, as well as a little photo album I put together with pictures of us and our families.

Our dossier should be in the mail today or tomorrow - we are SO EXCITED as well as relieved to be done with the paper chase part of the process!  It will take a couple of weeks to translate all the documents and then another few weeks to get our approval from ICBF  - that's if they don't request more information from us, which could delay things a bit.  Once we get approval from Colombia, we will go on the Colombian Family Waitlist.  Average wait times right now are 3 - 6 months for a referral. 

Stay tuned :).......
