Cleared!

Got the letter from the FBI in the mail!  It was a pretty stuffed envelope - looked like there was a lot of official business in there.  Turns out they just mailed me all my receipts for payments I made for previous fingerprint submissions.  It felt like the FBI was acknowledging that we had been through a lot together in a sentimental way.
If you ever need fingerprints done, go to this guy:  http://www.fingerprintingservices.net - retired CSI investigator.  First and last time I had to use him!
So where it stands now is one more online class for John and me.  We are learning about transracial families and how to cope with communities that may have certain prejudices and how being from a different race can feel.  So lucky to already be that transracial family (German, Chinese and Filipino) and to live in such a progressive city that embraces differences.
Once we submit our paperwork on that, we wait for the home study.  Hoping to wrap that up in July before we take off for a month in Europe!
