Fingerprint Appointment!

On Friday, we received notice of our fingerprint appointment. Wouldn't you know it, the appointment is set for the week we will be in Arizona. Let's hope that changing the date will be easy. Lately, approvals are arriving about 14 days after fingerprinting. If we get a new appointment during the first week of March, that would mean our approval would arrive in mid-March. Now the only glitch we have for travel is a trade show Richard has the last week of April. If we can't travel early enough in April, that would mean we would go to China in early May. The neat thing about that is the girls' Forever Family days would be close since our embassy appointment for Isabel was May 6.

Yippee!!!!! We had our fingerprints taken on a Friday -- Jan 30th -- and our approval letters came the following Thursday!!!! They were mailed on Wednesday -- two working days after having them taken.

Don't forget about the trade show in GZ -- it starts around April 15 -- and Stephanie said this year it might be three weeks. :( She was going to check on it for me.

Still trying to get everything together to send off so we can get ours!
Congratulations!

Can you just show up the week before and not ask for a written change? I've heard people just showed up on a different day if they couldn't make the given appt date. I know I've showed up at a different time. It will all work out either way.

Are you going to AZ too? It would be nice to have some nice warm weather huh?

I thought about that, Michele, but the instructions on our appointment notice said to send in the original notice along with a letter requesting the change. I didn't want to put ourselves any further behind by not getting the request in asap. Anyhow, hopefully it will not be an issue to reschedule during the week of March 2. Yup, we're off to Arizona this Saturday for a full week. Cannot wait for some spring-like weather! We are going to be outside as much as possible. Are you going?
