Almost done..we hope

Well......

Tb test is done and all results are in our possession. :) The mixup with the IR-3 and IR-4 Visa is undercontrol after lots of emails and faxing. The education component is done. The letters are written. All that remains is Michelle's medical. Assuming all goes well on Monday....that will be on its way to Indianapolis Monday afternoon. :)

Homestudy paperwork is done and in Indianapolis, home of our adoption agency.

The challenge now is understanding the adoption process is Lesotho. It is a new and very unique program. We will see how this plays out over the next month or so.

In the meantime, we are praying for an email that states that adoptions are reopened in Lesotho. Please pray with us. Thanks!

One of our friends just received a referral for her two little ones from Ethiopia. We are so excited for them. They have two biological sons and are preparing for a 3 1/2 old little boy and his sister of 22 months. They are so blessed to be traveling in November. Assuming all goes well, they will have a family of six for the holidays. Hurray!

MORE PAPERWORK!

School starts tomorrow and we are knee deep in paperwork. It stinks, but is pretty straightforward stuff.

On the positive, Michelle and I do not have TB! In all seriousness, our home study is near completion. We are finishing some final forms and mailing them off.

Now we are waiting for things to start moving in Lesotho. Michelle and I have a good feeling about the country, but are anxious as you can imagine.

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Summer went way too quick!

Back From Mexico!

We are back from Mexico! Lots of Fun and Sun for the both of us (maybe a little too much Sun).

Now that we are back and the school year is around the corner, many parts of the adoption process are wrapping up. All the medical paper work is done for all four of us. The FBI has given us clearance stating that we are NOT felons. Always a good sign!

The only paperwork left for our home study is completing our education classes. Once that is done, the home study will be written and sent to the adoption agency. We are completing the paper work with the adoption agency as well. Just a couple of loose ends to tie-up there. There real hurdle has been completing the home study. We are excited that we are in the home stretch!

Unfortunately, our coordinator for the home study is moving on to better things in California. While we are sad to her leave, we hope all the best for her. Therefore, we are waiting to see who our new coordinator will be. Glenkirk has been wonderful to deal with so this is only a small bump.

We are also still waiting for adoptions to open up again in Lestho.

We will keep all you informed and thanks again for your continued support.

Len and Michelle

Mexico Here We Come

Well, we have had one of our last official meetings for the homestudy. They have determined that we would offer a good home to an adoptee. Once all the final paperwork is done, we should be one huge step closer.

There is no news on Lestho. We are hopeful that the situation will change soon. Our agency has been working very hard with the State Department to move things along.

Michelle and I are going to take a brief vacation in Mexico before the start of the school year. We should have some new tidbits then!
