YIPPIE!!! WE GOT OUR FINGERPRINT APPOINTMENT!!!!

WOW! Peter with his mom and dad went out shopping this afternoon, and when we got home Margaret checked the mailbox. Now, those of you who know Margaret, she never checks the mailbox, and if it was up to her she would leave the mail in there until sunday - and go through it all at once (at least that is what she always did when she was single.........hehehe). But for some reason today, Margaret went through the mailbox and saw an envelope in there from Homeland securities..........Margaret was like "wow that was quick!" It's just been 7 days and next week is our appointment. For this fingerprint (one of many for the adoption) we get the 171H form that allows us to adopt a child internationally. Yippie!! It's very exciting news! So next tues. we'll be fingerprinted for the last time to get Anna Maria Home!!!!

Just figured I would share this great news!
