YES!! (fist pump, chest bump, touchdown dance)

We received our I600 approval today! It was a long and frustrating wait. Really, any wait during the adoption process feels long and frustrating. The time after you go to court and get the adoption decree, but before you can bring her home has been the worst part and the hardest to deal with on a daily basis. She was ours the first time we saw her picture, but became ours legally back in August. So for two months, OUR DAUGHTER has been thousands of miles away, across an ocean, and we couldn't do much to change the situation but wait. Mostly patiently and sometimes notsomuch. She is well cared for and loved there, but we miss her terribly! We'll be headed to Ghana very soon to see Little Sister, get her visa and (dare I say it) bring her home! I think I need to use a Few!More!Exclamation!Points!!!!

Soooo happy for you. Can't wait to hear how Beatrice is doing too. I am with on the waiting part. It is VERY hard to be patient (and not so patient much of the time). We are these girls' mothers, and they are supposed to be here with us now.
