Moving in the right direction!

Today was a pretty exciting day for us!  We have been waiting for 67 days for an immigration officer to be assigned to our case (application for adoption).  I have been calling every 7 days or so since day 40, and every time I had called in the past, they would tell me that it has not been assigned yet and the average wait would get pushed back 10 days every time.  Today, I had Linda call and guess what?  A case worker has been assigned as of today!!!  We should see approval in a day or so!

So what does this mean?  This is the last piece of information that we are waiting for before our dossier (which is already translated) can be presented to the court.  Shortly after the ministry receives our dossier, we should receive a referral.  After we accept the referral, we will then get our invitation to the country, which will more than likely be set for two weeks after we accept the referral!!!

This means that we could be traveling in 6-8 weeks.  We are in the process of raising the funds for our airfare.  We are a little over halfway to our goal.  We have had 135 of 252 pieces added to our puzzle.  We are asking for a $25 donation per piece to help cover the cost.  We would like to have the puzzle complete by November 1st.  Can you help us reach our goal?  Can you help us complete the puzzle?  You can click the link below to be a piece of our puzzle!

It is difficult to see but the recently added pieces say "Family"
