Fingerprints!!!!

We are so excited to tell everyone that we drove down to St. Louis on Friday July 15 to get our USCIS fingerprints.  This is a HUGE step for us.  It means that YES, USCIS did get our paperwork, and that now with our fingerprints done they have all the information they need to process said paperwork.. For those of you that have not been following along, as soon as we get our USCIS approval we can get our paperwork approved for our Dossier to be sent to China.  WhoooHooo!!!  Today marks that we are 4 wks into our USCIS wait.  It can take anywhere from 6-10 weeks, but right now seems to be running around 8 wks.  We have been spending the last week making sure we have all the paperwork needed for our Dossier and will be meeting with another couple going thru the process next week so that we can check over each other's paperwork.  We are praying that everything goes smoothly and we get our USCIS approval by mid August so that we can be Dossier to China by Sept. 1.  Another step closer to Baby Hendricks : )

Also wanted to remind everyone about our Photography Package Giveaway.  We will be drawing the lucky winner on Monday evening so if you are interested in purchasing a chance to win check out our previous Photos post for details.
