Bad Blogger......Good News!!

My original plan was to post weekly - religiously - to track the adoption process. Well.....please forgive me!!

However, I do have a bit of good news to share in adoption land......we have received acknowledgment from the CIS in Ho Chi Minh City that they are in receipt of our I-600, which the they review with our other paperwork to determine that Kai, in fact, qualifies as an orphan. It says that "most determinations will be completed in 60 working days." SO.....that clock begins officially ticking today!! Our prayer will be that it won't take that long....we shall see!! I have to remind myself that every day is one step closer to bringing Kai home!! Once we receive the approval, we will travel within 1-2 weeks!! YAY!!!

More good news is that the nursery is well on its way to being finished!! Kai's closet still has to be painted, the light fixture hung, and the doorknob installed (emphasis on the word "still"!!), but the crib is set up with the cute bedding on, and the other furniture is in place including the glider and ottoman, which we had re-upholstered in an ultrasuede chocolate! I can't wait to snuggle up with Kai and read bedtime stories in it!! I promise to post pics soon.....

We have lots to do in the next few days. I am hosting a baby shower here this weekend for a dear friend of mine who is due on June 1st, and we've been working on the house and yard to get everything looking nice. After that, I will be a better Blogger......I hope!! :)
