Biometrics....aka "fingerprints" here we come...

We received our official appointment letters from the Dept. of Home Land Security for our biometrics appointment. We are hoping to get these done a little earlier by "walking in" instead of waiting for our appointment. We know several people who have done this, so we are hoping it will work out for us too. One reason is to, of course, save a little time and then it will help us out because Chuck is off work next week and he won't have to use a vacation day to travel the 3 1/2 to 4 hours (make that 5 hours for our family) that it takes to get to Charlotte. Anywhere we travel as a whole family, you might as well add a couple of hours to that time.....lol. Still waiting to hear from ICAB (Inter-country adoption board) in the Philippines about our dossier. It's day #33 of waiting, but who's counting?
