So, after a lot of delays due to my lack of fingerprints (that's right, I do not have fingerprints; should have gone into a life of crime...), we finally have our I-800, which is our formal approval to adopt Ellie. The US has approved our request to bring a "foreign born minor" to our country to live as our child and to become a citizen. Our agency has told us that the wait is now 11-16 weeks until we travel. I am still holding out hope that things go very smoothly and we have Ellie home before Christmas. Not likely, but possible. Yay! Celebrating small milestones is just one way to cope with this LONG wait.
