Fingerprinting Adventure

Yesterday we finally had our long awaited USCIS fingerprinting appt (Application for Advance Processing of Orphan Petition) so that we will be legal to bring our baby back into the country.  It was at the "local" Department of Homeland Security Office (local meaning 1hr 15min away in good traffic).  We had quite the little adventure getting there... *we left in plenty of time just in case something happened.  I printed off  great  directions that led us to the middle of a neighborhood with no office type buildings in site.  We had 15min before our scheduled appt time, so I pulled out my trusty phone, clicked on google maps and with a minute to spare pulled into the USCIS parking lot. 

We hauled buns up to the building and after waiting for about 45min....

 our fingerprints are DONE!!!!

 We were so starving after our little escapade we decided to grab a quick bite to eat.... the lady gave us our number and oh yes..

 wouldn't you know it... it was number FIVE.  Yes we will soon have FIVE kids!!!!

That is so crazy to think of.  I would have never in my life imagined that we would have FIVE children.  God has some crazy plans for us.....

We hurried and ate because I had to be back to make it to my friend Christina's Zumba fundraiser to bring her baby girl home from Ethiopia.

We were driving along on I-5 just chatting when the car started acting funny and Paul says "Oh man the gas light never came on."... what??  We were running out of gas on the FREEWAY!!  So we made our way (slowly) over and right when we were pulling off a DOT man pulled up right behind us with a gas can.

He was our Ordinary Hero!!

Thank You Mr. DOT man.

So that was our fingerprinting adventure.. I am praying we get our "Favorable Determination Letter" very soon.  That is the LAST piece of paper we are waiting for so we can send of our Dossier.
