A GREAT Day!!!

Today has been a great day in our adoption process!! :)

First, our director is in Korea right now. We knew she was going to take Mary Kenzie's care package to the agency, but we didn't know if she'd actually see her or not. Well, the director emailed me this morning and had this to say,

"I saw your sweet pea today and she is a delight. Her foster mom thinks she is the smartest, prettiest baby around and is very proud of her, I will be back next week with photos and a brief update. thanks"

We cannot wait to see her latest pictures!!!

Next, we found out today that all of our paperwork has been approved on the US side (our I-600 approval!!). We are THRILLED!!! So, now all we are waiting on is for all of the approvals on the Korea side. Both of these processes happen simultaneously and are not dependent upon the other, but they both have to be completed before Mary Kenzie can come home. There are a few more checkpoints along the way that will help us know that we are getting closer. So, next week I will begin calling and checking in with the various government agencies to check our progress.

But, this was a huge milestone and we are SO excited to be this much closer!!!! (When we were in process for Riley, he came home about a month after our I-600 approval.)
