i-171H Received

We have finally received the "Notice of Favorable Determination".

We have been approved, by the USCIS, to adopt a child from Russia!

We have to make a copy and send it for an apostille. The copy will then get sent to Russia to join our other paperwork that's being translated. This clearance was pretty much the last thing we've been waiting for in order to be registered in a region. It will still be a while before we get assigned a region but at least all our "ducks are in a row". Woohoo!
