Fingerprinting
We had our 2nd round of fingerprints taken yesterday at USCIS. The first round, back in June was for the state of Illinois to do a background check on us. The fingerprints yesterday are for Homeland Security to do a background check. After they check us out and it's determined that we're not terrorists or have other shady dealings, we should get our I-171H. This basically is approval on a federal level for us to adopt a child from abroad. We hope to get it by March 1.

Another step checked off the list. Way to go!
I still think it is crazy that they don't have some kind of database for our fingerprints. I was shocked that I had to provide them to like 3 different government agencies. You would just think they would all work together and share information.
It feels so good having that done though, doesn't it! Congratulations and I hope you will have a quick process!
Yay for another step!
The man who did my fingerprints was over the moon excited for us when I told him we were adopting. He was super sweet and made something like being fingerprinted fun!
yay for fingerprints! doesn't doing it so many places, so many times seem silly??? we just had our 2nd set taken at CIS in Nov, just in case we had committed a crime in the last 15 months, lol!! oh well, it got us out of town for the day!
