"Movin' Right Along"

I Love the Muppets!

Movin' right along in search of good times and good news,
With good friends, you can't lose,
This could become a habit.

Today was a very eventful day in the adoption process.  In the mail was our I-600 approval and updated fingerprints approval.  Then I checked my email this evening to find out that we have EP approval as of 12/11.  

EP (Emigration Permission) is the Korean counterpart to the I-600 here in the U.S.  These documents represent the Korean and US governments' approval for our child to emigrate from Korea to the US for the purpose of adoption by us!  This approval is good news because it indicates that our adoption process is moving forward!

Typically children are ready to travel 1 -3 months after EP approval.  So we are looking at January - March to bring home Bug!  Now our agency in Korea will obtain a passport for him,  and the "entrance visa" to the US needs to be issued.  We needed the I600 approval for the visa process to begin.  It has a bunch of steps.  There also is a visa physical by a US Embassy approved doctor.  We know that he has had that already because of an additional form we needed. 

It looks like we are movin' right along...
