Fingerprints on a plane to Japan

It turns out that one of our adoption agency's requirements is that if you have lived in another country for more than 6 months you need a police check done in that country. About a year after my husband and I started dating he moved to Japan to teach English for 11 months. So off Matthew went to the Japanese Embassy in Toronto a couple weeks ago. His fingerprints were taken and are now being sent with his information to Japan for clearance.

They told him it could be two months before we hear back. I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping this doesn’t delay anything.

We also went to London around the same time and had digital fingerprints taken for our Canadian RCMP/Interpol clearance which cost $155 (My brother-in-law Ryan made sure to remind us that they provide that service for free to criminals – haha).
