We got some good news last week and today our official completed home study arrived! While this process has taken far longer than it should have, we know that it is all in Gods timing. It was a wonderful Christmas present that arrived in the mail today! Also, yesterday I received a recent photo of our little guy, I love seeing into his life. I will create an album for him with all the photos that I can find of him from his years at the orphanage, so he can look back and remember his life and see his friends.
We have been in contact with a couple of families that have recently or will be soon going to bring home their sons who happen to be our sons friends. We will definitely meet up with these families once we are home and settled. We are very excited about this!
Our next step is our immigration paperwork, which we already have completed and sent to our agency. So the step after that is getting the rest of the documents needed for our dossier. I think we have most of this done, but I do hope to have any other necessary papers put together before Christmas break is over.
We are still probably 7 months plus away from bringing him home. I hope to get an update and discuss the timing again, but you never know what can happen during the process, there may be other delays. But, I hope not.
We cannot wait to get him home and cant wait to have our lives and his life forever changed. We are so thankful that the Lord led us to our son. Without Him, none of this would be possible.
Please continue to pray for our family, our son, and the many people involved in the adoption process. We appreciate all the love and support from everyone.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Here is the new photo I received. He is the one in the middle with the blue jacket.
