I have a positive "Sophie Update" to share. I found out this week that the Chicago USCIS office did indeed transfer our file to Kansas City. If they would have put an ounce of the effort that they have used to avoid working on our file into actually processing it we would have had I171H approval weeks and weeks ago! Remember, the approximate wait time for Illinois is 8-12 weeks and we just finished week 23 of the wait! Anyway, while we are disappointed that Chicago did not do their job and take ONE HOUR out of their day to process our file, we are at the same time relieved that it is out of their hands. According to the senators office Kansas City is reviewing it now! I am praying that there are no more delays so that we can get our dossier to China already!
We think of Sophie every day and our arms ache to hold her. If I close my eyes I swear that I can smell her scent and feel her soft skin. Please keep Sophie and our family in your prayers so that I can hold her for real one day. And, feel free to send "bad thoughts" to the Chicago office... ;P

Yea! So happy that the file is in Kansas City! You are one step closer to holding your sweet Sophie!
I love the pictures of Emma. She is cute as ever.
Hooray!!!!!! Thank goodness. I know you're sighing w/ relief. Megan, I so remember being able to "smell" Eliza during the waiting and dreaming about her and feeling like I knew her touch already. Those are special "mommy-in-waiting" moments and they're very real. I believe it means that you're getting closer. Hang in there. Counting down...
