Our Brown Envelope has arrived!! Hallelujah, I was starting to worry.


To catch everyone up, when you adopt internationally, there is a collection of paperwork to be completed at the consulate of the country of origin. The consulate will send you the paperwork sometime after your I171 is approved so that when you travel, you will have all the necessary forms. Good thing our has finally come.

The letter accompanying our packet is actually dated for before we traveled. Why it took four and a half months to get to us, is a mystery for the US Postal service.
