I-797C...

This is the form that says that you can adopt a child and you have been approved to bring that child to the United Sates. We received our renewed I-797C back in April with a BIG change...our renewal petition had a stamp that said that our petition has been "Amended" and we are approved for one (1) child! Our initial petition was issued for approval with two (2) children (we requested twins if they become available).

Needless to say, I called our agency before I even got out of my car with the mail to let them know that there was some sort of mistake...we needed to get our approval for two children corrected and I started to panic...why did they change our approval, was there something wrong, did they change their mind...it's crazy all the things that run though your mind when you have so many uncontrolable factors that are basically in charge of your life and your family and there is (almost) nothing you can do about it!

We got our new amended (again) I-797C showing that we are approved to receive two children...thank goodness!

Now we just need a referral and we are good to go...I wonder home many more renewal's we will have to get before we get that referral?
