We were shocked and very surprised to open the mailbox today and find a fat envelope from USCIS. The envelope was opened slowly with a bit of hesitation as we wondered “What could be wrong?” or “What piece of paper are they missing to complete our background checks?” We were shocked and relieved to see that absolutely nothing was wrong, but rather we received our government approval to bring a baby home! We were told to expect this to take 90 days, but it came in just 16-that has to be some sort of record! Hopefully things keep moving as smoothly as they have up until this point!
