What Are We Waiting For??

Hello all our sweet friends! We cannot appreciate how much love and support you have given us as we march past our year anniversary of meeting our daughter. As some of you know we were praying and hoping (kinda expecting) to have our dear girl home maybe June or July.... We are sitting here early August and still waiting! So let me give you a little insight about our hold up:

We got an email (early July) from the Embassy requesting B's birth certificate. The one that was submitted was a handwritten one. The crèche ground worker is on this task, but it is taking a long time for them to get their hands on it. We were told a couple weeks ago that it would be 'any day now.'

One of our good friends has been in contact with the Embassy and it SOUNDS like once this document is in we can get our paper work to be pushed on to the next and final stage!

So you can direct your prayers in the direction of getting the birth certificate and  to get our paperwork pushed through as fast as possible. We are a week away from school to begin for myself and The Bash!!! Tensions and emotions are on high alert here! :) Lots of new things happening and lots of big transitions are underway in our lives in so many ways! So you can also pray for us all to take everything one step/ one day at a time.

Some common questions:
Could it be any day? Yes

When will you go? After we get word it will be about 2 weeks and then we'll head to Haiti

How long will we be there? Only 2-4 days. The Bash will be coming with us

How long will you be home with her? As long as she needs! It will all depend on her and what she needs. It may take her a long time to adjust and see us as her family... It may take her a week! We have no idea so our life is up in the air (as always).

What do we need? prayers... tons! girl stuff (clothes, hair stuff, toys, blankets, towels, underwear, hair oil, skin care...) ... probably meals.... Maybe come by and give loves to The Bash once we bring her home... did I mention prayers? :)

We love you all and could never thank you for how amazing all of you have been through this long process...  These past few months have been so hard... Our family is so ready and our hearts ache for her!
