Initial Country Application - Approved!

We are so excited! We just found out that our initial application to adopt a child from Eastern Europe has been approved.  :)

This is just the initial approval.  Now we have six months to get our home study completed and our dossier together and sent over.  Next the country approves that, and issues the official referral.

When we receive the referral, we go to the country for a trip to meet the child.  After that we officially accept the referral.

Then a guesstimated 4 to 6 months after that, we go to the country again to adopt the child.  So all in all, about a year long process.

Who is the child? you ask ... well, we have to be very vague for the protection of privacy and the confidentiality of the process, but we are allowed to say she is a 10 year old girl, and that she has cystic fibrosis.

We appreciate you coming along with us on this journey through your prayers and support.
