Everyone's adoptions are different. It depends on domestic or international. If it's international, which country? It also depends on your agency. My friend is actually leaving next for Ethiopia to pick up their baby son. They passed court around Christmas and found out their travel date about 10 days after passing court. Plenty of time to buy airline tickets and find someone to stay with their kiddos back home.
Well, after much research on our agencies blog, I am discovering; for some reason our agency only gives you about 10-12 days notice before you travel. YIKES!!
I am have to admit I am starting to panic some. The short notice to travel doesn't scare me as much as trying to find someone to stay with the kids. They have school and need to be here. Samantha especially will need the stability and routine. So, if you all could pray that someone is able to step forward and stay with our kids (and Keesha).
Some great news this week! While we are not able to be with our daughter for her birthday at the end of February, I was able to locate a family to take her a birthday present. They are leaving next week. And get this...they are adopting 2 kids from our daughters orphange. Which is a small orphange, so it's amazing. Our kids are probably great friends! This family was definately an answer to prayer! We can not thank them enough for this special gift.
It's been a great week all in all. I never realized how much stress waiting for court had on me and our family. Holding your breathe for that long does makes you a little crazy (it's that lack of oxygen.)
It's getting close....
