Yesterday, I walked to the mailed box opened the door and there laying on top of all the mail was our Immigration Approval. My eyes filled up with tears. This is the last and most important document that allows our children to come home to us. We've been waiting on this for 3 months and now we have it.
We can officially go on the wait list now.
As I mentioned in my previous post, we have been told that the average time on the wait list is 3-5 months. Having our children home seems so much closer than ever before.
I will probably spend this time investigating the possibility of using our frequent flyers or credit card points to cut down on travel cost.
Also, need to start thinking about who will care for the kids while we are gone. I want them to be able to stay in their own home and beds. I think it will cut down on the stress and anxiety for them. Someone mentioned to me about having a progressive sleepover where friends come for 2-3 nights at a time to stay with the kids. I'm going to make sure they are lined up to go to school every day during the week. This is the one area that I am most uneasy about. Please pray that we will find a good solution.
The room for the boys is ready with bunkbeds. We just need to paint the nursery and get the crib set up.
The next few months will be busy with the planning and putting on of our 3rd Annual Adoption Seminar & Expo, vacation in October (we can't wait!) and all the birthdays, anniversary and holidays through the end of the year.
Things are getting ready to kick into high gear in the George household.
