Re: Our son's file is OUT of MOI!!!
can i ask a goofy question, what is MOI?
That's awesome news! So glad progress is being made. Enjoy your visit next week!
On a sidenote, what does MOI stand for?
After MOI, passports are printed: 1-2 weeks
Then medical exams are conducted: ~1 week
Then we wait for USCIS approval: ~2 weeks (IF USCIS has all the documents they need)
Then we wait for visas: ? I'm not sure how long this takes
Altogether, I think they could be home 2-3 months after they are both out of MOI. Because they are bio siblings and very closely bonded to each other, we won't bring one home without the other even if one is ready to travel before the other.
Ministry of the Interior (Haitian)--the governmental body that checks over the adoption file for fraud and issues approval for passports. Our adoptions were actually legalized by the Haitian government a year ago. MOI was supposed to take 1-3 months, but it's been 10 1/2 for our son and ? for our daughter.
That's so exciting! You're almost have your kids!!!!
This is great news!
I'm keeping them both in my thoughts!?
Great news
I was wondering what was happening with the kids just the other day.
Such great news! I'm so happy for you guys! I hope your daughter's file gets through MOI quickly and your children will be home where they belong in no time at all.
Have a safe trip and a wonderful visit with your children!! We'd love to see pictures if you're comfortable sharing!!
Wow, what a day for me to stop by here! I'm SO thrilled for you, and hope that your daughter's file will be quickly behind!!!
Have fun next week! How many times have you been before?
This is very exciting news!!!! With some luck you will have them both home in time for Christmas!! Very exciting!!!
TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!
Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!
3 IUI's, 2 IVF's , 1 FET , 1 IVF w/ Gestational Carrier, and 1 FET using adopted embryo's = ALL BFNs
We are adopting!
SAIF/PAIF IS ALWAYS WELCOMED TO POST IN MY POSTS!!!
YEAH!!! You deserve some good news! fingers and toes crossed that your DD's paperwork goes through soon and they can come home VERY soon!!! Enjoy your trip and seeing your children!
OMG! OMG! OMG!!!!! I am SO happy to hear this news! I pray for your situation often, and have often thought that we might have a little celebration in my house when you finally get to bring you little ones home.
You have been on my mind all week, for some reason, and I'm so happy to hear that you finally have great news. I will continue to pray that your daughter's file is released soon, so you can bring your children home where they belong.
I am very happy for you, and I pray that the rest of the process goes quickly and smoothly.
Have a great trip, and hug the stuffing out of your little ones. Hopefully now you will be able to tell them that you will be reunited for good the next time you are together. Oh happy day!
