Fingerprints and guardian angels...

I called Frankfurt CIS office yesterday to check on our fingerprints/171-H and the prints I sent them Jul 14 have been lost in the mail...they never recieved them!!! They moved last year after our original request (didn't know this) So now we have to add re-do fingerprinting (again) to our list of things to do right away.

We talked with some friends last night whom are willing to keep the boys for us. There is still a lot of things to work out yet but we have a strong sense that this might just be ok after all. The boys will not miss any school and they will have the comforts of home during this high stress time. I still wish there were some way for them to come with but with all things considered, they will be better off not traveling right now...maybe we can plan a China trip someday as a family; when the planning part of it is actually in our control.

Whew...looks like you were able to take the fingerprint snafu in stride :0

I can hardly wait to hear the news that you are on your way to Jaiden!

Me too! We had our fingerprints redone and mailed off today (23 Aug)so hopefully they will get it this time. They moved last year and forgot to update us - shame on them! Why is everyone moving offices???

Now we just need to get our Visas figured out and make some travel arrangements as soon as we get our TAs. We are so ready to go!

Stinks to have to redo things.

Thanks for visiting. We love, love, love Florida. We could live without all the hurricanes, but we'll take the bad with the good.
