So Close!

in Adoption

We are adopting internationally - a little boy who is 3 and is blind.  We started our home study in January.  We are now approved by US gov't.  I have a couple papers to get apostilled (fancy sticker from the state) today and then I'll be mailing out the rest of our dossier to his country (dossier is the paperwork his country requires).   We may be travelling middle to late May!!!!!! 

Getting super excited and yet super nervous.  I will be in country at least 4 weeks - husband will be with me for at least 2 weeks.  If things go astray we could be there much longer - as many as 8 weeks.  I have 5 little kids at home who will have to be watched by family.  I am so excited to meet our new son but so sad to be gone from the other kids.  All I want to do is get over there and bring him home!

    Can I ask how long it took for you to get your home study certified (or whatever it needs to be)? We are hopefully sending ours in next week so I'm curious.

    OMG, OMG, OMG!  I'm so excited for you!  I've been following your story, and I can't imagine all the excitement and nerves and disappointment (at missing your other little ones) you must be feeling!  I am so happy that this is moving alo

    Thanks for all your responses.  I just can't believe how quickly everything has gone - partly due to luck I'd say.  We worked really hard though to get the documents done ASAP.   It's been crazy.  But this little boy needs ou
