Immigration...check!

One more thing to check off the to-do list: immigration paperwork. We mailed our application today to the immigration office in Detroit. They have to process this application, and then mail us a letter stating that the government has approved us to adopt a child from Thailand, and to allow that child to later become a U.S. citizen (after filing more paperwork and paying them more money!). I have to admit, this is not a quick or easy process...and Detroit is not known for its speedy turn-around time. Previously, we've had Senator Levin's office help move our application along, and later, a lawyer helped us get ahold of Charlie's citizenship paper. Here's hoping that this app. will come through without all the song and dance!
