Adoption

Unexpected news :-)

We found out today that we were approved to adopt last Friday by the Peruvian authorities.  :-)

I really expected to hear about our approval at the same time we were matched with J (and not before), unless J was referred to another family, so this is unexpected news.  It's also happy news, because it's a sign that things haven't completely stalled.

Perhaps the most exciting part is that our lawyer asked if they needed us to resubmit our request to parent J, and they said "no, as they?re already working on the case."

Maybe our dreams will come true, and we'll know this January....

{Fingers crossed and praying hard}

    TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!

    Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!

  • this is wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!
