Done with our home study

So yesterday we got the final notarized copies of our home study report. We got 2 copies and USCIS (INS) got 1. We have been approved to adopt a child under the age of three from Ukraine. Our application will be processed in order of filing date. Ours was filed 12-23-07 so it should be processed by late April. My letter says that I shouldn't call and inquire about it until May 10th. I plan on calling as soon as I wake up that day to call them if I haven't recieved my I-171H from them yet. The I-171H is the government's approval form. They go over all of the paperwork we sent them, and our fingerprints we had done in Charlotte, and they determine whether they will approve us to adopt. I can't see why they wouldn't so I'm not too worried about it.

Now I've started gathering the documents for our Dossier (application that we send to Ukraine). This is where things start getting expensive. I have to pay for some of the documents that we need, we have to pay for county stamps and state stamps, then I have to pay Cathy at Ukrainian Angels for her services and I have to pay for the facilitators. So I have to find a way to come up with $6000 in the next few months. I don't know how we're going to do it, but we will find a way.
