The Schlorf's Adoption/Missionary Journey: Papers

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

Papers

We dropped off the papers at the Embassy this morning. We are now going to wait for an email regarding when our visa appointment is. We hope it will be by the end of the week, but if you have been following our adoption journey long things have not usually gone as we hope. We'll keep you updated...

I'll try to have some BCS this afternoon.

Thanks for the updates. I am so thankful to hear the results of the TB test!

You all should get back here before we go into perma-frost for the rest of the year! Tell that to the visa office. I'm sure it will expedite the process;)

I'll keep checking in to see the latest.
