Oh, we have incredible news to share.... we got our MOWA letter. Actually, God provided our MOWA letter : ) On Tuesday, Wes called to chat about the to pick me up at Wall in an effort leave our little automatic pickup with my parents. And, then...he quietly said- 'Oh, ya- we got our MOWA letter'. WOW! Mom was driving the car back to Philip when he called- Mom nearly forgot how to drive a car and we were both thrileed!!! We are so blessed and thankful for God's provision in allowing our adoption to not get held up in the rainy season court closure. It is suddenly becoming real that soon we really are going to be a family of three. Yikes, we've got lots to do and lots to be thankful for. The official adoption decree was signed on August 10th. So, he is officially and legally ours :)
So, now what? We have turned in our completed I-600 and now are waiting to be submitted to the embassy to process Kaleb's immigration. Our agency will get his newly update birth certificate, take him for his passport photo (which will be the world's cutest passport ever) and gather up all our paperwork. The big question now is... when will he come home? We think that we'll all be home together around what we're calling 'October-ish'. Could be alittle sooner (although not likely) and could be a little later... just like we've said before- God knows!
Whahoooo!!!!
