Our date to get our fingerprints is Nov. 30th.  I am hopeful that once this is done and approved things will move much quicker.  I received another video of Evan this time in a classroom setting.  It's amazing how the heart strings can pull so hard from half a world away.

T-SHIRT FUNDRAISER

WE ARE SELLING T-SHIRTS AS A FUNDRAISER FOR BRINGING HOME EVAN.  THEY ARE SHOWN ON THE BOTTOM OF MY BLOG.  GREAT GIFT IDEA!

Update on Evan

Last friday we were thrilled to get an update on Evan along with the 2 pictures I have posted.  The update gave us new measurements (he's about 3-4 inches shorter than Avery).  It also told us he was in Kindergarten which I believe is very young for the age they gave us of 7.  However it also said he had a thick tongue (tongue-tied?) and was not very articulate.  This is the first we heard of this however in the video they sent us he does not talk.  I will be meeting with an international adoption doctor in the future and she may have another idea for what this means. 

Next Step

We are currently waiting for the USCIS to contact us and tell us where and when to go get yet another set of fingerprints.  Dan, Zach and I all need to do this.  Please pray that the date they give us is one that both Dan and Zach are available.  Once that is done and we are cleared to bring a child into the US we get a piece of paper and that goes in our dossier which will be sent to China.  The dossier is complete except for this paper.
