More than procrastination?

I still haven’t filed my I-600A.  Yeah, yeah, I know I said I was going to do it.  I didn’t.  I think there might have been more to it than simple laziness (or procrastination as it’s more formally known – has a much more pleasing ring to it, don’t you think?).  My placement agency has a woman who focuses on placing HIV+ children.  I’ve talked with / emailed her a few times in the past couple of weeks about child #2, and she got me thinking about adopting from a country that I had not considered before – a Hague country no less.  As a result, I’ve actually put together my I-800A application and am filing it tomorrow.  I think that my procrastination actually just saved me $670.

More importantly, it appears that I’m switching countries.  I am going to hold off discussing it until my dossier is submitted and I learn more about this new country’s process, so stay tuned.
