Biometrics Done

This weekend we went to Customs and Immigrations and had our fingerprints taken. They call it biometrics and it's pretty high-tech stuff. We saw our prints on big computer screens. They have been uploaded to the F.B.I. and Homeland Security. It was about an hour wait; most of the crowd was there to become U.S. citizens, the rest were adopting. We ran into someone Jodi knows from Bethel who are adopting from Peru. We also saw another couple with a beautiful little Ethiopian girl. They said their process went pretty smooth.

While it seems like we have a little lull right now (from most of the paperwork), we are realizing how much still needs to get done. Every week is filled with to-do's. We are getting our house in order, doing projects that needed get done. Good thing Jodi's dad, Don, is retired!

I was talking with my friend Eric about how our lives will change and realized there are a few things we need to do before we get two infants. This includes the following: going out to a movie, sports event or music concert, reading a book, etc. Last week we rented a stack of movies. The list keeps getting bigger....Unfortunately, our adoption to-do list is bigger. No matter what happens, Jodi and I will have no regrets about where we are. To be continued...
