Waiting on Clearance

The next step in the adoption process is to send our application for the I-600A to CIS, however this cannot happen until our home study is complete. The only thing holding up our official home study document is our FBI clearances, which we're patiently waiting for. As soon as our social worker receives these clearances our home study will officially be complete and we can send everything in for CIS approval, which is one of the last steps before sending everything off to Ethiopia. This is the first time that we've both felt as though everything is "in place" yet we're unable to move forward due to waiting on approval/clearance from another agency. We really hope that these clearances are received soon so that our CIS application can be on it's way and approval right around the corner. Cross your fingers!
