TODAY....we rec'd our I171-H form which gives us approval to adopt orphan children abroad. We had this form already but it expired on March 13, 2007. On March 1 we started over and now we once again have our governments blessing to adopt our children from Haiti.
Our file just entered the Haitian passport office last week. Our friends who brought their little boy home in December had Senator Hatch's office contact the U.S. Embassy in Haiti who works closely with the Haitian Consulate to persuade them to move a little quicker on their childs passport. It seemed to work - of course, they had been stuck in the Haitian passport office for several weeks.
So we need to gauge whether making a phone call after our file just made it to the passport office is the right thing to do. OR....do we wait another couple of weeks before we pull these strings.
hmmm....

So what did you decide? Did you push it through, or are you waiting?
We're so excited!

Well, we just received the letter on Friday. So we haven't had much opportunity to do anything yet.
I think we will probably wait a week or two .....but than again....hmmm
