What's going on...

We had the first of many seminars last night. It focused on maintaining your child’s birth culture and being a multi-cultural family. We did a few exercises and talked about discrimination, stereotypes etc. We broke up into country specific groups at the end so we were able to meet others that are going through S. Korea. We met a few other couples, one whose home study was completed about 4 months before us and two others that are behind us and still waiting to get into the Korea program. I think it will help a lot having others to talk to and wait with.

Chuck got Easter baskets with the first stuffed Easter bunny and Horton, which Stella loves. I am going to find somewhere to start storing some of this stuff; there’s no more room on the dresser.

We are still waiting to hear from USCIS regarding our fingerprinting, if we were approved.

Other than that, there’s nothing new going on, but stay tuned for updates.

fingerprints are done

Everything went well with the fingerprinting appointment Friday... at least for Ethan. They had a difficult time with getting a good read on my prints for some reason. The process is done with a scanner and, for whatever reason, mine had to be redone at least twice per finger, but it's all done now.
