Today Nii went to the court house to pick up the court decree. We have an appointment to file for the I600 at the embassy at 2:00p.m next Tuesday. We would have done it sooner, but the embassy does not allow appointments for I600's on Fridays and Monday is a holiday in Ghana. Tuesday was the next available date. In order to get an appointment, you must email them before you go. They will confirm, you print out the conformation to show at the embassy gate, and bring all of your paperwork. It is important to have all of the necessary documents for them when you drop off the I600 or the processing will be delayed. Let's hope when I go on Tuesday, everything is good to go. I am very ready to bring my daughter home. She is doing well and we are learning to better communicate with each other. She speaks very little English and I speak very little fante twi, but we seem to manage. Everyday that goes by I seem to learn a little more of her language and everyday she learns a little more of mine. Today at the hotel I meet another adoptive mom who was able to pick up her child's visa and bring him home tonight. The little boys was a great interpreter for Elizabeth and I. It was nice to hear him tell me the things she was saying. I often have the wonderful ladies at the hotel help with that too. We have also found a great taxi driver who comes when we need him. He too helps as an interpreter. I am learning the important things like....eat, bathroom, come, don't cry, please, thank you, and I love you.
