Fingerprinting DONE

We are happy to say our fingerprinting through US Homeland Security is DONE! Yes! Our appointment was actually scheduled for today but we took our chances and drove down to St. Paul 2 days early and they got us in! (Of course they reminded us they normally don't do them early but since we showed up right away and it wasn't packed yet, they let us in!) In and out in 23 minutes after waiting almost 2 months to get this done. One more step closer! 

Of course the question is now: What's next? We wait with patience again to get our approval back and then we include this with our Dossier (more paperwork) to now be State Certified (which I plan to drive down and "show up" again instead of mail waiting,) then Authenticated in Washington and Ethiopia. Sounds like a lot of processes; well it is, but our job is almost done! (atleast with the paper chase.) I am hoping we will be on the official "wait list" by the end of September. I'm not sure how the Ethiopian raining season will affect all of this? (All courts shut down in Ethiopia from mid August  through September for their raining season.)  
Goal: Focus on the things WE can control and LET GO and have FAITH for all the things we cannot!
Blessings...
