I have been talking with so many moms about the Congo. It helps to have such a support group. They answer all my questions and I am even starting to answer some questions myself for others. I still feel lost in this process. I am so overwhelmed. We have a meeting with our Milwaukee adoption agency on Tuesday. They are the agency that is completeing our homestudy for the Congo. We have to get some paperwork notarized and finalized. We are waiting for our I600A form to be completed so we can go to Homeland security in Milwaukee for fingerprinting. It should be another week before we hear from them.
I am also talking with a mom that is telling me about a 9yr old orphan Avery. I saw pictures of her and she is adorable. The mom is telling me she is the sweetest girl at the orphanage. This mom is worried they won't keep her because she is getting older. I would love to bring her home with us if Dan would let me. I have so much love to give and we have so much to offer these children that have nothing. I believe that what is meant to be is meant to be. Maybe there is a reason for this. I would love to bring 2 or 3 home but it isn't in my hands right now.
I am hearing terrible stories of people waiting forever to travel to the congo. This is heartbreaking for these moms and their kids. All we can do is wait and pray.
