We are USCIS approved

We received our I-171 today! I was able to go to the USCIS and pick it up this afternoon. This is a great Christmas present for our family. :) This means that we are approved by Immigration Services to adopt internationally. This is the last piece of documentation we needed stateside. Now we will be ready to submit as soon as the country we are adopting from re-opens after their federal holiday. Adoption is a process. We are thrilled to be this much closer to rescuing Timur. As a mommy I could not have received better news today. I am relieved and blessed. We also received our Reece's Rainbow ornament with Timur's picture on it today. The kids were excited to hang it on our Christmas tree this evening. Timur may not be home with us this Christmas but he is in each of our hearts. This will definitely be a Christmas to remember!

Have a very Merry CHRISTmas!

Blessings,
