Visa Pictures
So, Miriam needs a visa to be allowed into the USA. Joey and I need a visa to be allowed into the DRC. Yesterday my task was to get my visa photos taken. This would seem to be an easy task, but everything in the adoption process takes longer than one would think. I started at the Rite Aid and after much discussion and going back and forth, it was decided that their camera was broken. Then, I moved on to the closest CVS and the kind lady there said yes they could do it but a customer had just started printing out 400 photos so it would be a while. Who stands there and prints out 400 photos? So, I came home for a while and went back to CVS. This time the machine was free. Hooray! The CVS worker was kind and helpful and really wanted me to get a good picture for my visa...which took a while. She would look at her camera and say...Hmmm nope not this one...and we would try again. Finally, we got a decent one...at least it looks like me. Joey already has his, so it is time to file for our visa. Moving closer!

I always seemed to get "some updates" on facebook and never realized I could log on to this site directly. That tells you how computer-illiterate I am. But now I got it! I am so excited how things are moving forward. You are going to hold her in your arms before you know it. I realize that the closer it gets, the slower it seems to go by, but it is almost here. We keep on praying for Miriam and for you as the special day approaches :-)

ReplyDeleteOh wow, that was quite an ordeal with your visa pictures, haha! It’s good that you finally got a decent one. Here’s to the hope that the pictures you took passes the qualifications, followed all the rules and won’t have to be redone. Good luck with Miriam’s and your own visa applications!
