Our LSC arrived on February 24th! I had called my caseworker at the adoption agency to ask if she needed copies of the certificates that we had finished all of the hours of online education classes that they offer. They are required now to be Hague compliant, which is great. I love anything that helps me to become more educated about adoption. The classes cover things like what to expect when traveling internationally, older child adoption, adopting trans racially, attachment issues...all good things to know. I didn't know if she needed copies or could just see we did them since we did it through the adoption agency. She said she would need me to email them or fax them to her. She also mentioned that she wouldn't be able to send us the Letter Seeking Confirmation unless they were completed. I emailed them to her that morning. Later that day, she called and said that the LSC had just come in! She mailed it to me and we got it the next day! It is the official form asking us if we want to adopt our little girl. We can't do anything with it right now since our home study update still has to be completed, but it is great to have it.
I made an appointment for Ray and I to get our fingerprints done the day after we sent in our LOI. Ray's went through, but mine were rejected. I went in again, and they were rejected. I decided to try a new place (even though the first place was the sherriff's office) and am hoping they go through this time. If not, it takes about 30 days if they have to use my social security number to get a clearance. We are also still waiting on my letters of clearance for each of the states I lived in after I turned 18, Illinois, South Carolina, North Carolina, New Jersey, California and Hawaii.
