Hopes for the Week

On one of the forums I frequent they have a Monday thread where members can post their weekly wishes. Everyone in the adoption process is at some stage of waiting and it helps to express what you are hoping to happen for you next. The wheels of government grind slowly so it usually has something to do with either USCIS or CCCWA. My hopes for the week involve both - oh goody! As of Wednesday, USCIS will have had our 800 application for two weeks. This is usually the amount of time it takes to get to your officer's desk. I plan on calling Friday to see if we have been approved yet. The sooner the better for several different reasons. My other wish is that we see an update on our Abbie this week. Today our passports with visas are scheduled to be picked up from the Chinese Consulate and should be in our hands very soon!
