Letter to a Senator

We have been waiting ever so patiently to get our pre-approval. It is the last thing we need to make our file complete (and hopefully correct). Today I got an email from our case worker suggesting that I write a letter to the Senator inquiring as to what the possible delay could be for the issue of our pre-approval. Really our pre-approval isn't severely overdue. The pre-approval can't be issued until after the US Embassy receives their copy of the DNA results. The DNA test was completed 3 weeks ago. Our agency informed us that it can take 6 weeks before the pre-approval is issued but we should contact our Senator to move things along for us if we haven't received it after 4 weeks. Not really sure why our case worker told us to contact our Senator now, only 3 weeks after the DNA test was completed. I figured if it would help move things along, why not. So bright and early this morning I wrote to our Senator.

My sister and her family stopped by today with some things for us. We are now the proud owners (or borrowers at least) of a baby swing, a high chair, and a crib! For the moment they are just shoved in Marcus's room unassembled. At some point we will need to get the full bed out of there to make some space. We should probably get a crib mattress too. One thing at a time!
