Thank You Along With An Update
Dear Friends and Family,
Thank you so much for all of your love, support, prayers, and following our journey with us. We are now starting our tenth week in Colombia, and it is hard to believe we have been here this long! We just got an update from our agency representative here in Colombia that our final paperwork just reached the judge's office this past Tuesday, the 7th. We did not know it had just arrived, and we are still waiting for his signature on our final paperwork. Recently, the courts were closed for 6 days for training with the judges and computer network updates in the court, our Defensor working on our case was sick for 3 days, and everything was closed 1 day for a Colombian national holiday! Now that judge has our paperwork, he has 10 days to sign it. So, the last day for the Judge to sign the papers is Monday, the 20th, at 4pm, but we pray he signs it sooner. We had our orginal flight planned for today but hope that we will be on a new flight home very soon!!! When we get inpatient and tired of living in a hotel room for five all this time, we just look at our three beautiful children and remember that this is all part of God's plan. Although the adoption hotel we are staying at is chaotic, loud, and full of distractions for our kids sometimes, we are thankful we have had this time to get to know our kids, where they could be surrounded by so many families and a staff that speak Spanish. On Monday, there will 14 kids here! Thank you for your prayers and we will keep you updated!
