...And Still Waiting

And so the wait goes on... Due to its two weeks in the land of the unknown, our Dossier wasn't delivered to the Minister of Foreign Affairs (MFA) until May 18th, we don't expect any update until June 18th.

From that point, we could be departing in as little as 3 weeks, hence my T-30 day guesstimate.

We we first started the adoption process, we were given the hope that we would be traveling by the Christmas holidays (2006). With the issues with our former agency, changing agencies, paperwork taking unscheduled vacations, and all that, we're eight months behind our original plan. We had originally hoped to have the children home with some summer time to work on language and social skills prior to the beginning of the school year. Now, we just hope to have them home in time for the school year.

Then again, life is what happens while we busy trying to make plans. At this rate, our return home with cargo will be almost 18 months since the time we started. Cathe's observation is that, since we're seeking to adopt two children, that 18 months is about right.

Keep us in your thoughs and prayers.
