Paperwork Pregnancy Done! (for now)

Well, we finally completed all of our application and dossier paperwork for our adoption. Two weeks ago, we received our official Gladney approval and today we mailed off our completed dossier. Yeah!!!!!! The last piece of the puzzle is to get our immigration approval which we hope to have in the next 3-4 weeks. Then, we go on the wait list. We've been told that the average time on the wait list is 3-5 months. We could have a referral as early as December and be traveling 1-2 months later. Of course, we are talking about international adoption so who knows. It could be sooner or later than that. For some reason I have had one or two inklings that this may happen fast. That may just be wishful thinking but I'm covering our bases, just in case.

Wow! By Spring time, our new children could be home with us. We are so thrilled we can not even put it into words.

Please pray for us. Once we get our referral that is when the last and largest chunk of money is due (excluding travel expenses)for the adoption. God has been and will be faithful to us.

Praise Him, praise Him, praise Him!!!
