We are just hanging out waiting…. Our Dossier has been in country for 13 days. First translation then onto courts for approval. A two month process we’re told…..
We have not gotten to talk to D much in the last week, no computer allowed… on his end… 🙁 Calling his cellphone is quite expensive on our end, when we are saving every penny, so we are checking in every few days with him for just a few minutes. A huge change to being able to reach out on Skype pretty much anytime we wanted to to tell him something. It really makes me even more thankful for the chance we’d had for months to talk to him most every day whenever we wanted.
His foster brother is leaving to be with his new family in 10 days. I am sure there is a huge amount of anticipation as well as nervousness with the boys. I am so thankful that his foster brothers’ family will get to see D and encourage him.
V & E are at DNOW all weekend. N is having a ball being the “only” child. We spent the day getting some good sale deals trying to restock our shelves here at home. We’ve also decided to begin to gather things we know we will need for our trip as we find them at good prices. Planning for several weeks in a different country and what we may need is interesting. We have been getting lists from those who have gone before us and they are very helpful.
Please pray that our Dossier is at the end of the translation process and that the courts approve our request to be his family. There are no guarantees that they will approve us.
Praying the Lord is watching over all the children who are waiting to come “home.”
