Well I'll tell you that this morning at 8:46 am (pst) I received the best Christmas present ever. A call from Lois (LVI) saying that Brody wanted to come home. That's right everyone. Today was our court date, and we figured it would be the first of many. But we must have lucked out and got a Judge that was in the Holiday spirit and approved our adoption on the spot. The other two children that have been with Brody in the foster home went to court too, and they get to come home to WA to their mommy & daddy too.
This is truly the best Christmas present. To think that our adoption is final there......OMG!!!
So next step?
3-4 weeks for the finalized official Adoption Decree in Ghana.
Once we have that we file the I600 - thank goodness we did the I600A, for pre-approval. The USCIS is currently taking 1-6 months to approve and process Visas.
Hopefully a call to the US Embassy in Ghana will speed things along.
I will post more tonight about feelings & the emotions - get ready for another good story.
A very happy mommy,
Julz :-)
