But who is counting...
Not me
well maybe.
We are on day 35 of our wait for our LOA.
I NEVER thought this would be so hard but it is agonizing. Not only do I want to go get him but with that letter we get to post his picture for you all to see and send him his care package!!!
You know the best part of sending that care package is that he then gets to find out he has a mommy and daddy coming for him. We will send him pictures of us that his nannies will show him and tell him who we are. Who his sisters and brother is and how much we love him!!!
How amazing is that.
I have been trying to follow other's wait and lately some are getting them in about 41-44 days (don't tell my social worker she keeps telling me to not do that....that I will drive myself crazy. Yep she is right but I can't help it!)
If we follow the same trend we could have it within a week......wow how wonderful that would be.
Last night we spent 2 hrs finishing up our paperwork and will notarize the rest of the papers hopefully tonight. That way when we get the LOA our I800 paperwork will be done and be sent out right away.
Please pray for our LOA to come this week.
I can not wait to show you all how much our little guy has grown from the picture on RR that we fell in love with to now!!
Hi Juli,
ReplyDeleteI'm in SE Wisconsin and have been following your blog (along with Ashley's and a couple others) for the last few months. I keep wondering when you get to show a picture and not sure why others can but you couldn't. That must be tough. I just learned of RR this year and am donating to a couple of little ones there. I'd be curious to hear why you chose your country and also what the home study process is like in WI. We were going to be foster parents and went in for an initial meeting in WI and learned it would take many days of in-class work which we just couldn't commit to at the time. Is a foster care license and this training needed as part of your process? Just curious if you ever feel like answering questions! Good luck to you!
