Look how far we've come

This past weekend, I completed the I-800.  We already did the I-800A twice, which is pre-approval to immigrate an orphan into the U.S.  The I-800 is to finalize that. I had to do 2 copies, one for each child.

One of the thing it asks is itemization of all the expenses paid. Wow. This has cost a lot!  With having to renew our immigration, and home studies, it adds up.

But instead of grieving over the money it costs, I had a feeling of satisfaction, that so many things are paid for.  We are at the finish line, even though there is still some more to go. So, that was an encouragement to see how far we've come.
