Yesterday Brad and I went downtown to the Criminal Justice Center to be fingerprinted. Call me crazy, but I thought they would use ink for this??? Well, times have changed my friends, and it’s all digital now. So, we got those done and mailed off to the Criminal Justice Information Services Division of the FBI. You know, it’s not everyday you mail stuff to the FBI, and the other day I wrote a check to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Never done that before either. Anyway, I’m working so hard right now to get all of the documents together for our dossier. A few months ago I didn’t even know what a “dossier” was (or how to pronounce it for that matter). Today it’s running my life! I’m excited because we’ve already done most of the hard work. Now we just have to get the last few things together and have a bunch of stuff notarized. I’m excited to be this far along in the process, and I’ll be so happy when our dossier is done and mailed! Between Brad going on a mission trip to Haiti and waiting to receive some documents in the mail, I’m guessing it will probably be the end of the month before it’s ready. After it’s approved by our agency, it will be sent to Ethiopia, and we’ll be put on the waitlist!! I will (of course) keep you posted . . .
