Time Warp

As of today Trent and I have done everything we can do for this phase of the adoption. Now we wait for Ghana to process our paperwork and the US government to send us an approval notice.

I am working on a small donation drive for the orphanage (let me know if you want to participate). I'll be collecting some medical type supplies as well as some basic kid care items. We will take them to Ghana when we travel. Picking up the girls will require two trips to Ghana, so we should be able to take a good amount of donations.

I do have a strong desire to start "nesting", but since we do have to make two trips I know that we will have time in between. I'd like to schedule my nesting during that wait. The current status on our timeline is, what took us 6 months with our Ethiopian adoption has taken us 4 weeks with this adoption. From here I don't think that ratio can continue, so if lightening timing continues, we may be able to bring them home in July. Otherwise, more realistically, we are looking at this fall. And of course there is the big looming unknown in international adoption, anything could happen, nothing is for sure. This is where faith plays in. I have faith that it will all work out and we will bring them home, soon.
