Got it!

The I-800a approval arrived in the mail on Saturday.  I got it on Sunday night after I got home and scanned and sent it off to my agency ASAP.  Now I am just waiting for my dossier to finish being translated.  In my head I am aiming for a March 20th submission date, but that is probably because is just two weeks from today.  I am sure that on Monday I will be saying that it will be submitted one week from then, because Monday will be exactly one month since it theoretically could have started being translated.  Basically I am at the point that I am expecting to hear news soon.  I am so excited, but scared too.  I just spent 30 minutes trying to calculate my leave at work.  If I leave for Landia on Memorial Day weekend, I can take leave all the way until Labor Day.  This is the plan if I am granted permission to host the children between trips.

I have started learning some Latvian.  I don't know how useful knowing colors and being able to count up to ten will be, but that is about how proficient I will be.  I never did make that to do list, but I have mostly gotten out of my can do nothing but try to figure out the future.  Maybe that is because it is getting closer.  I just realized that in April I should be Landia's public list of adopters with files in their system.  It is just a simple chart with dates and information about the kinds of children that the adopters would be open to adopting, but one of those lines will be mine.
