Potentially Matched!

mmmraowmmmraow
in Adoption

A little girl's file is being held for us while we wait on her blood work. Unless her medical report comes back with something very surprising (like, she's actually 5 years old or she is seriously developmentally delayed), we will be adopting a little girl from the Democratic Republic of the Congo!

We are trying not to get too excited until we have formally matched with her, but how can we not be SO EXCITED!?

Also, she's so beautiful. fwiw.

    I know! Such a long time coming. Can't wait for you to be matched too, Jalara! I'll bet you will be by the time our dossier is in DRC!

    Weeeellllll, we've been in process for over 1.5 years now, but we've been planning to adopt from Uganda. Our program has run into some problems (we started on our waiting list at #18 Oct 1st. By Jan 1st, we were down to #13, and we are still at 12 now!), and we really didn't set out to adopt so we could sit on a waiting list who seriously possibly two years (we were originally told 7-9 months).

    So we are jumping ship to adopt a waiting child. Hopefully the transfer isn't to complicated; we will have to amend our homestudy and our I-600A to change from Uganda to DRC.

    And I promise I'll give y'all the deets when we get them! We just have a picture, her birthdate (which I won't share until she's legally ours), and possibly her name? It seems unlikely that it is her real name, as it's neither French nor Congolese.

    thanks for the info!  you've had quite the journey!  our wait to be matched has taken a little longer already than we thought.  I think we jumped in right as DRC adoptions were taking off.  We've been waiting since March 25th.  I'm a little torn about that, but feel confident this is the direction we are supposed to be going.  I can't wait to hear more about about your process!!
