Waiting for that good ole CIS fingerprinting appointment

It has been 2 days since my Homestudy was supposedly sent to immigration. I am hoping to get a hard copy in the next day or 2. Here is what I still have to do.
Send the original homestudy to Massachusets (did I spell that right?) to have their state county certify the document...... This has to be done because my agency is homebased in Ma. and they get the homestudy notarized there.....

Then once our fingerprinting is completed we then wait for Homeland Security (Immigration) (CIS) whatever you want to call it, to send us a document giving us the OK to adopt internationally. Once we have that form, we then take alllllll our documents to get certified by NY ( in Manhattan) and then the same set of documents go to the Chinese consulate (in Manhattan) to get certified. Then we take all these same documents and mail them off to our agency in Ma. They then send this packet called the dossier to CHina. Once it goes to China, then it gets a log in date (LID) which is where our count down to our daughter begins....

Whew !!!!! This sounds harder than it really is.
