A Happy Road: Endorsement

Endorsement

We received the email today stating that we had received DCFS endorsement on our Home Study. Now we wait for final approval from Holt and then we will mail our I-800A to USCIS Immigration Services.

I told Daniel that I feel like my water has just broken in this paper pregnancy!
