Progress.....Day 9

We have been incredibly blessed to spend time with many other adoptive families sharing our struggles and our victories with one another. God is so good to give all of these families other adoptive friends going through the same process to comfort & encourage. We have met, hung out & mainly stuffed our face's with families adopting 1,2,3 & 4 children!!! So far 8 families who we Love dearly are either headed home with their little one's or just starting the process. Please join us in praying for each of these families~~~The Wojcik's, Bollinger's, Lewis', Becker's, Nance's, Enberg's, Diston's, and the Clark's(from Ireland-where I will be visiting one day, Ha!)

The Lewis', Diston's & Us - Pizza Yum!!!

The Clark's, Nance's, Becker's & Us - The Reece's Rainbow Hang-out:)

We have also been blessed to spend time with children at the Children's Hospital here. What a blessings to be able to sing and play with such beautiful children. Although I do believe the nurses thought we were crazy singing and dancing around. LOL They said they have never seen adults do that. Too funny!! Thank you to the Peipon's for letting us join them:)

Now on to the progress.....We recieved a phone call from our facilitator around 2:30 saying someone would be picking us up to bring us to the notary to sign a document asking for the 2nd SDA appt. for Levi which means that Charlie's paperwork is complete:) Yay! This means that as soon as we have our 2nd SDA and Levi's paperwork is complete we will have a court date! The only bummer is that Mon & Tues are a holiday here. So please pray that this does not slow the process. Also when we arrived at the orphanage for our evening visit, we found Charlie inside getting his picture made. So we brought Levi in and they both got their pictures done for their passports!!! Yay! They even showed us the printed pictures before we left. One more thing we can mark of the list. Our morning visit was good. The boys are warming up to us more & we have a learned a few words to help us communicate with them better which has helped. They are very obedient, but the language barrier is a nuisance. In addition to that because we do not already have a child with DS we are trying to learn what is orphanage behavior & what is DS behavior. Challenging:) LOL Tonights visit was cut short due to the photos, but Levi was having a BIG time on his little tricycle & Charlie was a little grumpy because he had gotten a shot. (I'm guessing an immunization he may have been missing)

***Please continue to pray that the process goes smoothly and quickly. We are missing our children already & can't wait to return home. I'll leave you with a few of my favorite pictures...

Ready to Blow this joint!
