This was a very interesting experience. We had an 8:00 apt. for the Hempstead location of Homeland Security/Immigration for our fingerprints to be taken. (This is so that we can get approval from the US government to adopt internationally. The form that we will receive in a few weeks after they clear our fingerprints, is the last document we need to get our dossier off to China. )
We were number 45 aqnd 46 today at 8:00 am. Everyone spoke a language other than English, and for those of you who know John, he was not a happy camper. Especially when I told him we probably have to go back in 12 months because the fingerprints actually expire.....Imagine that.....Your fingerprints expire.
I must say though that the gentleman that did my prints was extremely nice, and we had a nice chat regarding adoption. He even told me he and his wife adopted a baby from Jamaica 3 years ago, and he has older children.
Thanks goodness for heads up on this process from my dear friends, M and J.....
