Our new family blog
So I wanted to be able to keep everyone updated on the many adventures of the Herndon Family and thought a blog might be a good way to go about doing this. My hope is that this site will keep family and friends updated on what Mitchell and Maxwell are up to and also about what is going on with our adoption from Guatemala. What is going on with the adoption, you wonder? Well, we had our home study visit yesterday. We should receive the final copies in 7-10 days. We will then begin the lengthy process of getting the documents for our dossier certified by the Secretary of State and then authenticated by the Guatemalan consulate in Chicago. The dossier will then go to Guatemala to begin the translation process. In the meanwhile, we will be getting fingerprinted by the USCIS--formerly the INS--and will be awaiting our I-171h, which will give us approval to adopt a foreign orphan. The local USCIS office reports that current waiting times for the I-171h are 4-8 weeks.
