Early stage of paperwork
Sealed!
"So what's next" you might be wondering??? Well, now we wait. Our case worker is suggesting a modest time frame of 3-12 months to receive a referral although there are so many unknowns. We were informed today that we are "family #4" in the program (that sounds good, right?)...but it also means that we dont have many examples to work from. The other families ahead of us have different stories, different dossiers and have requested different genders and ages than us. So, basically it could be weeks or it could months. It is more completely and literally out of our hands now than it ever has been... and there is an intriguing sense of peace that comes from that.
So while we wait, we will be applying for our travel visas, saving/raising the remaining $10,000 we need and absorbing as much information as we possibly can about the Ghanian culture, parenting an adopted child and becoming a multi-cultural, multi-racial family. Oh, and preparing Little Guy's room! :) Stay tuned for more to come on each of those things!
