The only information we have on the girls so far is their pictures and current names. In order to protect the children, we are not allowed to post any pictures or other personal information until we pass court.

Expected Timeframe
L:
We will probably receive ages, medical, and other information within two weeks. Then we can officially accept the referrals. At that point, we will wait for our court date (should be sometime in January), where the girls will officially be allowed to be part of our family. Then we can travel to Rwanda to pick them up. We're thinking maybe we'll travel by the end of January.

Hard to Focus
L, A, & M:
How are we supposed to concentrate on school with all this excitement? We're sure Dad is having trouble focusing at work, too.

Our Referral!!!
L:
I can hardly begin to tell you how shocked we are. I'm shaking as I write this. We received our referral this morning!!! Two toddler girls. They're beautiful! We don't really know anything else yet. This has happened so much faster than we expected. We'll let you know when we know more about the timing of everything else.
Nick was about ready to leave for work when he saw the e-mail. He woke me up so we could look at it together. I was pretty out of it as he dragged me to the computer, but as soon as I saw it, I was shocked awake!
Then we woke up the girls so we could share the pictures with them together. They are definitely glad we did!

Our Approval
N:
We are excited!
This morning we got our approval from the Rwanda government to adopt! It was through e-mail and the attachment is blurry so all that we can see of the date is October and two digits. That means we are much further along than we thought.
Next steps are receiving our referral (who the kids are), court date, and travel.

Rwanda Update
L:
To follow up on our last post, the families who had received their referrals passed court yesterday! That means it's official and they get to share the pictures of their children. Also, they get to travel and pick them up before the end of the year. Thank You, Lord!

Rwanda Referrals!
L:
Some Rwanda families have received referrals today! We are so excited for them! Hopefully, the other approved families will receive their referrals very soon. Now we're praying that their court dates will come quickly because many of the courts in Rwanda close for the month of December. If they don't pass court before December, then they may have to wait until January. Wouldn't it be great if these families could all be together with their new little ones before Christmas?
