i600a and fingerprinting!!

sheesh.  i had other adoptive parents warn me about the i600a and getting on it quickly because it was quite a long process...but sheesh....over two months!! it's the only piece of paperwork remaining this side of the referral.  it deals with immigration stuff (i think lol) and it also sets up our FBI fingerprinting appointment.  there was a lot of miscommunication between us and the place we had to file it through...but it finally got sorted out.  our original paperwork for it had an expiration date of january 13th (yup, monday) and our check for it all still hadn't shown it being cashed.  we had been trying to get in contact with people without a whole lot of response...but we were finally okayed yesterday and then were given our fingerprinting appointment today!

so we will be making a little two hour trek to cincinnatti in the coming weeks to walk in for 5 minutes somewhere more legal and legit have our finger smashed on a screen and drive home 2 hours.  seems a bit silly to me...but obviously the government doesn't feel that way.  this doesn't effect our referral timeline or anything like that...just solidifies that literally all we have left is waiting and a phone call. :) two unknown numbers had my heart skipping again today....i don't foresee that changing anytime soon, though.
