INS Fingerprinting

What is it with us and winter storm warnings??? We received a letter Tuesday, Jan. 27th that we needed to be in Grand Rapids at 8a.m. on Friday, Jan. 30th for our INS fingerprinting. We got up as if we were heading to work on Friday because it's an 1 1/2 hr. drive. We left the house at 6:15a.m. to snow and icy roads. We counted 15 cars off the road on our trip up and back. I sure was thankful for the 4 wheel drive truck and Mark behind the wheel. This is the last appointment that we needed to complete. Now we wait for our turn for our dossier to be processed.

I just went back and read our blog from our previous attempt to adopt Galina and her brother Sasha in 2005. We had many conflicting stories at the time and weren't sure what to think. After 3 years we believe that Almas just didn't have the power to do our adoption. We believe that there was no grandmother and he told us that because it was an "acceptable" excuse.
