Approval is (FINALLY) in Addis!!!
Got an email from my agency, its confirmed, my 1-797 (approval) is in Addis! Yay!! I feel like a huge weight is lifted. Now we just wait...
For those who don't know, or need a recap... in September we sent off the I-600a, that is the Petition for Orphan Adoption... basically its the US Govt approving you to adopt. When they approve you, they send you the I-797 form and also send that to the country you are adopting from. This process should take around 3 months. Finally wrapped up and confirmed by Ethiopia at 7 months.
1st problem: Home Study was never sent to USCIS (found this out 3 months AFTER the fact)
2nd problem: Approval was sent to the WRONG country.
So finally we are ALL done its fixed and in Ethiopia :-)
