"The I-600 petition you filed at this office on May 26, 2011 for the above orphan has been approved. Your case has been transferred to the Adoption Unit of the Consular Section for the visa process. This completes all action by this service on the referenced petition. The Consular Section will soon contact you to follow up on your case."
We received this email this morning!! I didn't know we would get this notice -- this was a step that I didn't realize we were waiting for, but woo-hoo! we'll accept it! especially when I thought this office would be closed today!
Based on other families adoption processes that I've reviewed, this likely means that we will hear about our visa appt next week and the appt itself will likely be 10-14 days after that if all goes well. We could be going to Haiti in 2-3 weeks!! Do I hold my breath... and when can I start breathing again ??
Here's a song Mr. Rogers wrote about waiting.
