Finally! Our paperwork is there and they don't have any problems with the documents. There is one last letter for them to approve and then they will send it all back to our agency.
The agency will send it all to the orphanage, and the social worker there will initiate the actual court process. According to our agency, we seem to have a great social worker, one who is pretty good at navigating the courts. YAY!
K's birth family is out of the picture in a variety of ways. She has a sibling that was adopted over a year ago already. She's also been in foster care for a long period of time. Apparently these are all things that can help expedite the process if we happen to get a favorable judge. There is really no reason to delay it and they want her to get to her family as soon as possible. Music to my ears!
Our agency said we could possibly travel as soon as 8 weeks from now...and if it goes slowly, there are hold-ups, etc, it could be up to 6 months before we travel. I'm praying it's sooner rather than later. I know God is in control and the timing will be perfect. But there are no two ways about it, waiting is hard, no matter how you slice it!
A good update though and another step closer!
