Well first of all things are going really well. I found out some really great news. Well a few great things actually!
1. Zoe Mirna gets to stay with us the entire week. We thought she just got to have visits during the day. This will be so much better for bonding.
2. Plane tickets and hotel were a lot cheaper than I thought they would be. That will make it so much easier to visit her.
3. Our authentication charges came out much lower that budgeted. Texas is apparently one of the cheapest states for getting this done. Plus the agency didn't charge us for authentication processing because I did the leg work.(with a lot of verbal coaching from Lindsey-case worker) So the grand total of savings issssss $1400!!! Wow! What a blessing. That pretty much covers the cost of a trip to go visit. So cool!
4. We can e-mail letters and pictures to Zoe/Mirna whenever we want. (as long as we don't overdue it.. Hee hee) and they will translate them, print them and read them to her.
5. Our dossier is in Guatemala now!! We are really trucking along!
6. The immigration department-overseas adoption/orphans division has all our paperwork now. I tried to call today to get things expedited but they were closed for Veteran's Day. I'll call again first things Monday. Please pray...
7. We have the most supportive group of people around us!! We have already had so many people around us ask how they can help or offer to get clothes and gifts for Zoe. Just as important are the people constantly offering encouragement and prayers for our Zoe... I even have an amazing offer from a sweet friend to help me sow everything for her room for free!!
By the way (SHAMELESS PLUG COMING!!!) Susarah is a talented seamstress who is just starting her own business. If you need some sowing done I have your gal!!! I'll take pictures of the room when we're done so you can see her many talents.
