Update...

Good afternoon ~

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I wanted to update you on our paperwork saga. I heard back from the adoption agency this morning, and it looks like it will be another 4-6 weeks on the paperwork we have already been waiting 8 weeks for. CIS (Citizenship and Immigration Services) out of Memphis contacted CHI (Children's Hope International) this morning to say that they are now requiring different wording on all Home Studies. Ours just happened to be the first that they have "kicked back" due to improper wording. (great luck, huh?!?) The social worker voiced concern that we were just approved for our addendum for the Chinese adoption, and CIS responded that they had just been through additional training and that all Home Studies will now have to have a new sentence in them. The social worker prepared another addendum today with the new wording and shipped it off to CIS. So, the waiting continues.

Please pray that CIS will quickly review the addendum and process the paperwork more quickly than 4-6 weeks. I hope you all have a great week, and I'll let you know if anything changes. Thanks for your continued love and support through the wait.
