We got two important updates in the last 24 hours. Today our new I-797C came in the mail. I realize that most of you don't know what this is, but it is a piece of paper from the USCIS saying that we can adopt a child with Kate's age and special need (cleft lip/palate). It turns out that the lady who processes them had the flu all last week, and that is why it was a week late. She has been very nice and even emailed me yesterday to let me know it was on its way. Can I tell you how nice it is to have a positive experience with a governmental agency!!
Second (and more exciting), Dana at AHH emailed me yesterday to tell me that they got an update on Katie. She is now about 26.5 pounds and 32 inches tall. They even said that her feet are 5.7 inches long. How cute is that?! Can anybody tell me if that is a size 7? I bought one pair of size 7s last month, thinking that they looked huge. But when I measured them against a ruler, they are about 6 inches long. Which means I probably need to return them. Oh well.
Supposedly there are pictures also. Our agency contact in Beijing said that her orphanage is going to snail mail them to Beijing, and then they will send them on to Dana, who will forward them to me. So check back in the next couple of days, and hopefully I will have pics!!!
