Some News Before Our Trip

We heard from the facilitator updating us on the progress of our case. The report is as follows:

We had a previa(or an identified area that the Department of Registrars wanted changed) of the POA of second girl (McCaule) and we got the registration of the POA of second baby girl on Friday 9, November 2007. The two baby girl’s adoption process will be done through one adoption file so we had to wait until both POA were registered. We got the registration on Nov. 9th, now we can start family court two processes through one dossier, one social worker and one PGN attorney. This seemingly “delay” will in the end cause the cases to move much more quickly and as a unit so that both girls complete together and come home together; we will not have two separate files that might have finished months apart. Constant contact will be kept with the assigned social worker and she will move quickly; both interviews will be held together; one document will be produced; she will sign off on one report.

We were also told the name of the in-country coordinator and her assistant who will be bringing the babies to us on Saturday morning.

The U.S. facilitator will be contacting us today via phone to discuss any other issues and travel concerns. One interesting note is that she also has a large family, 7 biological and 3 adopted from Bulgaria.

We've got most of our bases covered for the trip with just a few loose ends to tie up over the next couple of days.... Can't wait to hold those pumpkins!

I visited friends out of state last weekend and they surprised me with baby shower! What a wonderful surprise and love showed. Some of these ladies I hadn't seen in 8 years! It was fun to catch up. We just picked up where we left off as if we had not been separated by time. The Fellowship of Believers is definitely a Work of the Lord.
