"Dear Prospective Adoptive Parent,
USCIS would like to congratulate you.. It has been determined that you are able to furnish proper care to an orphan or orphans as defined by Section 101 (b)..."
My I171-H arrived and I am done with my dossier! I can send it all off next week and wait for a referral!! Is it really this close? Is motherhood really just months away?! (breathe, breathe)
Funny thing, I knew this was the critical piece in the process, "the golden ticket", so in my mind I imagined it to be yellow! But nah, just a boring piece of white paper-- but the final, important part in an extremely long road. But it's all behind me now!
Baby, here I come!

YAY!!! Thats awesome! Congrats on jumping through the final hoop! Yes that paper should have been yellow, gold in fact! Doesnt it feel good to be done all the dossier paperwork? There should be some kind of ceremony involved!!Hope the rest of your journey moves along quickly and your baby is home with you very soon!
