not insurmountable roadblocks, but delaying blocks...
1) homestudy took FOREVER because my fingerprints kept getting rejected for criminal background check (worked for USCIS, not for our state, which also checks against FBI database... no, these to entities for some reason cannot share information).

2) we had to wait several months for a referral

3) then there was the holdup with DNA Authorization mess at the embassy...

and, of course, our case involves a minor birthmother, which is yet another potential for things getting delayed...

but, since DNA testing and sw interview has occurred yesterday, TODAY I actually feel like this is going to happen!

Now I am just worried about getting her home by her 1st birthday (time to start getting an updated homestudy and 171).

It WILL HAPPEN... but it is hard to believe it is really happening, sometimes.
