Our dossier arrived in Kigali, Rwanda this afternoon after spending the last week touring Virginia, Indiana, Tennessee, and Great Britain. At last, it is in the hands of those who will decide if and when we will be united with our child.
Please pray for our patience as we begin the longest waiting period of the adoption process. We're looking at about 3-6 months before we hear anything from Rwanda, followed by approximately 2 more months of waiting to receive information about the child they have chosen for us.
I'm trying to view these months as an opportunity to rest from paperwork and enjoy this unique time as a family of 4, before we add another treasure to our brood!
This is also the time to turn our focus to fundraising. We're in the process of putting together a fundraising dinner/concert, which will probably take place in mid-late March. As soon as we have a date locked in, we'll post more details for those who are close enough to join us.
Thanks for tracking our journey!
