Yeah!  We finally got an email stating that our dossier has been logged in on March 31, 2012!!!

The typical wait time for an RA (referral acceptance) is 2-4 months.  For a special needs the wait has been right about 3 months.  The 2 months mark is the end of this month, so we could know as early as the end of this month a travel date...  or the end of June we could know more!  I'm guessing it will be June since that's the 3 month mark...  ;)

Curt is thinking it will be August that we go...  But I dunno...  I guess we will wait some more and see what happens!  :)

July is really busy since Curt has a chance to go to Haiti (kinda  long story, but it has to do with Back2Back and our church...  :)), he leaves July 10th to fly to Miami and then on the 11th the group flies down to Haiti and then he comes back around 5pm on the 13th, and then the Mexico Missions Team from the church leaves at 3AM on the 14th!  So he really only has a few hours to sleep...  and me to wash his clothes and pack in his Mexico bag!!!  ;)  But I'm so excited that he has chance to go!!!  :)

Kotah has been flipping out a little b/c she heard me say about the time frame for us traveling to China and then them going to Mexico!  She is soooooo excited to go to Mexico and finally be able to meet the girl that we sponsor down there!  :)

I told her, baby, stop...  Who's in control?  She said God.  I said, ok, right.  So do you think He will take care of it all?  Do you trust Him to work it all out?  She shook her head yes.  I said Kotah, He knows what He is doing, it's all apart of His plan.  We just need to trust Him with the details, ok?  She said ok. 

We really don't know too much more at this point, it's really just more waiting!  But atleast we know that our dossier was logged in!  That's a big step!  :)

We are going to be about $10,000 shy of what we need, but TOTALLY trusting God!  We still have about $10,000 left in our matching grant money, we JUST hit the $10,000 mark!  :)  Even if we have to get an interest free loan, or an adoption loan, I'm ok with that.  I'm trusting Him to work it all out!  It is kinda scary thinking that a HUGE amount of money will be due when we find out travel dates, but I know my God is BIGGER than anything, and He has it all worked out!  Just praying and trusting Him!

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
