Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore.
Jerry took this call. Turns out that the truck carrying the revised version of our psychological reports was robbed in Honduras! Everyone at Buckner and at FedEx was totally apologetic, but what can you do. We'll just have to ask our psychologist to print off another copy.
In a couple weeks, we'll be laughing about this. Actually, I am kinda laughing now. You just couldn't make this stuff up!

Additional information requested
Looks like we need to ask our psychologist to add into the report more detail on our personalities and more detail on the recommendation section. I called his secretary, and she is going to have him call me so I can explain it fully.
Funny story about our psychologist that I didn't record earlier. He is from our parish! It started like this. We knew that one of the requirements for the dossier was to have a psychological report on both Jerry and I, but we totally didn't know how to go about getting one. Plus it was rather unclear what needed to go into the report. We called Dillon to see if they had any recommendations on where to go -- difficulty is that none of Dillon's other countries require psych evaluations, and since Honduras is a new program, we are the first family in our state working with Dillon/Buckner, so this wasn't an easy step. Still, sweet Margie was able to find a few people, and gave me the contact info for one psychologist who's office was nearby. I called and explained what was needed and made an appointment. Then when I showed up for the appointment, I checked in with the secretary and sat in the waiting room. Within a couple minutes, the psychologist's door opens and out he comes. We looked at each other, both smiled, and said, "I know you!!!" He and his wife have been parishioners at our church for years, and we see each other all the time, but didn't know each other's names. It was very funny! I totally felt comfortable, and totally felt like God was right there in my corner taking care of me, as usual.

We're on the waiting list!
I know this is still going to be a long wait, but it feels oh so good to have our dossier in Honduras, translated, and officially on the wait list. There are something like 200 families ahead of us.

One more thing
Just heard from Irina at Buckner that Honduras is now requiring the actual lab results for our blood work. Hopefully that is an easy thing to get.

We got our I-171H!
The I-171H is the approval letter from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). It finally came in the mail, over 3 1/2 months after we submitted it (who's counting). Everything else for our dossier has been completed and is just sitting there on my file cabinet, so tomorrow morning I will head downtown to the Secretary of State's office for one last apostille, then ship this puppy to Dillon!
The ladies at the Secretary of State's office are so nice. I usually took Erik downtown with me, and they always recogize us and say hi to him. Tomorrow, I'll have to take both boys. Erik will enjoy showing Mario the ropes!
