Today is a good day for news

It's late so I'll be to the point for once. We were able to get an e-mail address of the Jax USCIS case worker through someone on the Florida International Adoption Yahoo Group. I e-mailed her this morning to check the status. Within a few hours, she called Bobby. Apparently there was some *delay* at the FBI. But, she pulled and reviewed our file today. Everything is good and she said we should receive our long awaited I-171 early next week. I don't think I'll breathe easy until it is actually in my hands, but it is still a relief to know it is on its way.

Based on getting our paperwork out by the end of November, we'll most likely be traveling to get Kayla in July/August of 2006. Of course, nothing has really gone according to plan so far...maybe we'll get lucky and referrals will start coming quicker and we can make up some time!
