APRIL 22nd at 9 AM!!!
That is when we will meet with the State Department of Adoptions in Sofia's home country and where we will accept the referral and be authorized to begin the process of meeting Sofia at her orphanage and then initiating the court process to adopt her.
Oh...my...goodness...
Words cannot describe the feelings running through me right now. Thrilled, excited, nervous, scared, anxious...WOW!
Time to kick it into HIGH gear. There is SO much to do!
Living life one day at a time as a family of six...3 busy and bouncy boys and 1 Ukrainian princess. Our third son Joaquin was our unexpected blessing who came to us with a little something extra called Down syndrome and inspired us to adopt Sofia an orphan we fell in love with through Reece's Rainbow. We hope that our story will help open people's eyes to the beauty and gift that ALL children are. We are all more alike than different!
Excellent news! Wow! 4 weeks from submission to SDA appt. date. I'd better kick it into a higher gear as well. So happy for you Jen! Go get that sweetie pie!
