We went to get fingerprinted again today. This makes the second time. We were fingerprinted for the homestudy and now this time for the I600A form. Now we wait for the 171H form from the government. This will give us permission to adopt a foreign child! Hopefully they will move fast!

Great News!
The CIS logged in our I600A on November 4th and we received our fingerprinting appointments yesterday! I can only hope that the 171H form comes just as fast!

The Beginning of Our Journey
Well, this is our first entry. I thought I would give you our story to date and then start with the individual entries!
We are Cathy & Guy and will live in South Jersey. We have been married since 1993. We always knew we wanted children, but life got in the way. First job loss and no money, then busy lives. Before we knew it we were 40 years old. We started with fertility treatments in 2001, but they were not successful. We did one IVF cycle, but that too was unsuccessful.
In July of 2004, we started to talk about adoption. We decided not to pursue a domestic adoption because it was very expensive and most are open adoptions. We then started to talk about adopting from China. We did some investigation and chose Great Wall China Adoption for our agency. They are fantastic. We submitted our application on August 7th and were approved the next week...and the paperchase began!
Our home study was started on September 14 and we received our completed home study document on Friday, October 29th! Our case worker was very good and fast!
We filed our I600A form with CIS on Saturday, October 30. We are currently waiting for our fingerprinting appointment.
