Weve been matched with a Baby Girl!!!

We have been matched with a baby girl from South Korea. We are so excited. We expect a 3-4 month wait until we can travel to get her. Her birthday is September 2, 2009. We hope to bring her home before her 1st birthday.

Here's what's happening while we wait.

1) Send our acceptance paperwork to agency

2) Wait for her legals and then send w/I-600(application to bring an orphan into the states.)

3) Get I-600 approval

4) I-600 approval is sent to the National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC will "log in" and then "log out" your info. Once you are "logged out," the visa application is being sent to Seoul, Korea.

5) Now we move from the NVC to DC.

6) Embassy requests packet of info from agency to complete visa (P3)

7) Visa is issued (VI)

Hope this helps!
