The Dommel's Adoption Journey

About Us
November 16, 1999: It's been a little while since I updated here. Been
sick (yuck) and just haven't had the chance to update our progress.

Unfortunately, we're sort of in a bit of a wait thing now. We've obtained
some of the documentation needed for the dossier but are waiting for a
bunch of other things. Michael owns his own business so we have to get
his CPA to write a financial verification statement. I have mine from work
so that's done, but we're still waiting for the CPA to do Michael's. We also
received our birth certificates and have the state certifications on them.

We are also going this week to get our medical workups done. They
require about a dozen or so different blood and urine tests. We should
have the results back from them by next week (or maybe a little after with
the holiday) but then that part is done.

We are still waiting for the I171 form (the INS international adoption
approval form) to come back. We expect to get that about any time now --
we had our fingerprints done about a month ago and the HomeStudy
approval was sent then too.

The adoption agency gives you a handy dandy checklist to see where you
are in your forms. It's nice to see the little checkmarks growing!! I wish
they were ALL done though -- I'm so impatient!! We were really trying to
get this all done to be submitted by December but I don't think we're going
to make it. It seems to take longer to get documents through the system
than we first thought (sigh).

So that's where we're at (and wishing this would be moving a lot faster
than it is ..........)
