Well I will start with the bad news and then we can end this post on a good note. It looks like we will not have the boys home for Christmas. Sometimes I think I must dream up these timelines that I write about. But seriously, I have been told so many false timelines that I should just know by now. Cheryl told me today that there is "no way you will travel by December". The addendum has to be authenticated in IN and then in DC before it goes to Ethiopia. Just a minor detail I didn't know about!! Then we can apply for our court date. We then travel 6-8 weeks after our court date. Can you see the calendar pages being torn off and thrown in the trash? So I had to put travel plans on hold and shed a few tears and then I looked at the pictures of the boys and realized that it was OK. The good news.......they are still ours and coming home to join our family. It may be a little longer wait then we thought, but it will still happen.
The boys have been told about us and so they do know that they have been chosen for adoption. We are working on a care package to send. We already have a mini photo album for each of them. Our agency director, Cheryl, said that a lot of parents are now creating a CD to send to the kids. They do have a CD/DVD player at the foster house to watch it on. Can you imagine how many times that will be watched in the next couple of months? So we are trying to be creative and have some fun with this for the boys. We will definitely share it with all of you as soon as it is finished.
We have so much to be thankful for. A loving spouse, beautiful healthy and caring children, a lovely home and a wonderful and very supportive family, a succesful business where we help people every day. So if we have to wait another couple of weeks longer then we thought, that's OK. It is what it is and when we finally have the boys home, it will all be worth the wait.
Love you all!!!
