Well, it took a while - but 7 months later we have received approval for our I-600A "advance processing of orphan petition" from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. We have been deemed suitable adoptive parents!!! This approval is only good for 18 months so we hope we receive the children God has chosen for us by then, or we'll have to resubmit.
To complete an international adoption and bring a child to the US, prospective adoptive parents must fulfill the requirements set by the USCIS, the foreign country in which the child resides, and sometimes the state of residence.
So at this time we have been approved by the state of IL and the US, we are now waiting on Russia. We are told our dossier is in Moscow being translated and additional forms may be requested from us, we will just have to wait and see.
