One More Week But Who's Counting?
What a relief, our Visa's arrived this Wednesday. For those who do not know me, I have "issues" with things that are beyond my control. We still have to copy and notarize a few documents, and well...pack. The boys can not miss a month of school, so they are staying with my dear, dear friend Dorothy. Two teenage boys, I hope she knows what she's getting into. We will be leaving for Bogota from O'Hare early Saturday morning. With a day to rest up, our "Gotcha Day" is scheduled for Monday, April 14th. Here is the game plan. Ed will stay with us for ten days, sign over power of attorney, and then return home to the boys on the 24th. I will stay for the remainder of the court proceedings. They told us to plan on four weeks, give or take a couple of days. I can not tell you how anxious we are to meet this darling child. I will try to post often and let you know how we are doing. My friends know I am not computer savvy. However, I'll TRY MY BEST to send some recent photos. Sofia has probably changed dramatically, she was just ten months old in her referral picture. Please pray that we have a safe trip.

How exciting! I must say the wait was well worth it. Since, I have been a part of this long journey with you and have worked with you since day 1 I must say you have such a wonderful, amazing family. Sofia is so lucky to become your daughter and a part of such a wonderful family! I am just thrilled for you and cannot wait to meet her. Thinking of you every step of the way!
