Adoption Update 5.31.12

Just a quick note to pass along the amazing progress of our adoption.  Yesterday, I met with our local adoption agency (International Guardian Angels Outreach) and received our completed Home Study.  This was a MAJOR MILESTONE in our path to bringing Marina home.  It is common for most home studies to take 6 weeks to several months to complete. Ours was complete in 9 days! Our social worker along with George and Alexandra Goode from IGAA were amazing in this process. Our study has already been received by USCIS (Citizenship and Immigration Services) and we are now simply awaiting approval on the US side of the adoption.  We have already compiled our full Ukrainian dossier (many, many, many, many, documents) and will send that to Kiev once our US approval is received!  I'll post more information as it is received.  


I leave you with a new (date unknown) photo of Marina.
Love,
The Greens
