Hello! I keep forgetting to update this site. So sorry if this is where you are looking for info about the adoption and where we are at in the process. We are currently waiting for the last little bit of paperwork to clear so we can get travel approval and book our plane tickets. Russ made the trek to DC last week for his visa application. As a pastor, he has to go in person and swear he is only going over to complete the adoption. No proselytizing and not being sent by our church. After 4 days, he was approved and now we are just waiting on the last couple of things to clear so we can book the tickets. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers as we wait for all the pieces to come together. We are so excited to finally get a date on the calendar and GO BRING THEO HOME! We are ready. The kids are ready. They have been troopers as I rearrange all the bedrooms so Theo can have his own space. We have some sweet friends who have nominated us for a room makeover. Bloom Family Designs does room makeovers for families who are adopting or fostering. We are so excited to see it all completed and, judging by the draft of the design, it will be amazing! What an amazing gift! Looking forward to sharing our travel dates soon!
