Adoption Update





We heard this am that we have a May 31 - 2nd Embassy Exit Interview. We are glad for that date because the word earlier from the embassy was this :

We wish to inform you that we have received your open date appointment request.  Unfortunately, we cannot give you an interview date at the moment, however, we will check our adoption schedule and respond to your request at our earliest convenience.

Of course we were upset with their response and decided to contact our Senator's office. We heard just this am thru our Sen. office that they gave us May 31. We know of another family who has been in the process along side of us since Oct. and they had their request placed at the beginning of April and got a middle of May appt... So this seems in the timeframe we were expecting....

Now if we can only hear from Kofi that he has gotten all of the kid's passports like he has promised since Feb......We have Stella's and should have the other two but no word today as was expected...Please pray for the passports to be done and picked up....

These pictures are from the family who was there last week visiting their son for the first visit. It is always great to get updated pics of your children :)

Seriously. The USA should be issuing passports to the kids as they SHOULD become American citizens at adoption... This is just ridiculous and hurting the kids. :(

Praying for you so that everything will work out!

So glad you have a date! I sure hope some of the red tape that goes on in IA can get better streamlined, so people don't have to go through this.

Congratulations on receiving your date! I hope you hear of their passport status very soon, not knowing what is going on is so very hard.
Not much longer now and your three precious ones will be in your arms forever
