Homeland Security Gots My Back

August 24, 2013

As part of the adoption process, we needed to complete and get approval of an I-800. This is officially an Application for Determination of Suitability to Adopt a Child from a Convention Country. What basically happens is Homeland Security will go over our homestudy and go over our history via our fingerprints. It's usually around a 90 day process. The first step was getting our fingerprints done.



In the spirit of trying to get all the paperwork done, as much as possible, we got hit with a pink letter from Homeland because we did not include a few required attachments. We were bummed a little, but quickly turned it around.

Within 2 weeks, PRAISE the LORD, we got the approval!!!! The 90 day process was now completed!!! What does this mean? This means that Homeland approves us AND our dossier is now complete with all the necessary official paperwork!!!!!


Back to Sac to get this document certified by the state. Then on to the China consulate for authentication.
