Timeline Update

We have officially reached the end of the paperwork since I mailed in our dossier yesterday! I thought that I should give an update on our timeline.

We are predicting that it should take about three months for our paperwork to go through translation and approval in Colombia, and then they will send us the official referral for our little girl. I can't wait for that day! Our specific prayer request here is that they will accept our dossier without the numerical scores for our MMPI2 test. (A psychological exam we had to complete). We have heard that they can misread your number, so we chose to leave ours out. However, they can send a request for them, which will delay the approval and why we need your prayers.

Then the agency said that it can take 5 months to get our visas and a court date in Colombia. I don't know if I can wait that long, so that is where we need your prayers again. Scott's work is flexible so we can be prepared to travel quickly. We want to get our girl home (mostly because we can't wait to have her here), but also to start therapy for some of her special needs. The longer she is in the orphanage the more she could be delayed. Let's pray that we will get a court date soon after our referral!

Finally, don't forget about our final fundraiser! A Valentine's Dinner...For the Love of a Girl. You can check out all of the details on our website www.ouradoptionadventure.org or on Facebook.
