Yes. We are still here guys. Sorry we haven't blogged in awhile. We were holding out in hopes that something wonderfully exciting might happen. Unless you are as excited about my latest IKEA trip as I am - we will probably not leave you brimming with smiles and jumping for joy. We.Are.Waiting. That is where we are in this process. We will be waiting for a while. Right now, our paperwork is sitting in Washington awaiting new Kinshasa approved birth certificates for the kiddos. Once those arrive, then we will file a VERY important paper with the US Embassy - requesting that we can bring our kiddos home. Once those papers are approved (pray pray pray pray pray that they are read and completed in a very timely manner), then we can apply for an Embassy date in Kinshasa. After our embassy date, they do a final investigation and approval. Then we finalize an DGM appointment - that means we can GO GET OUR KIDDOS. So if you are a prayer warrior and I KNOW that SO many of you are - please pray for God's perfect timing in all of this. We are so hoping that we will be traveling in August or early September. We had hoped that we would be finished fundraising, but travel costs seem to be adding up - so be on the lookout for our final (like really the LAST one) fundraising information.
Finally, we attending a great adoption class last night on bonding and attachment. We were reminding of so much important information when it comes to bonding. Many of this things, a non adoptive parent has never had to consider because they bonded with their biological kids from the time they were infants. This is a GREAT blog addressing some of those bonding things. If you have a minute, take some time. Read it. Especially if you are a part of our lives. We want you to truly understand what the next few months hold.
Yes. I have posted it before. Because IT.IS.FABULOUS. So take a minute when you have time. My fellow adoptive families - this is PERFECT to send to your family and friends who are a part of your daily lives. :)
Ok. That is it for today. Have a TERRIFIC week. Maybe there will be an OVER THE MOON EXCITING blog post soon. Or maybe we will wait awhile.
Blessing,
The Chalos Party of Four :)
