Our homestudy should be finalized TODAY!! And.... drumroll please.... our pre-file dossier will be enroute to P's country... TOMORROW!!! Yippieeeeeee!! Praying it will be processed quickly. I asked how realistic an October travel date would be, and was told today that it could be the end of October, but we should be prepared for November. Praying praying praying that we can get there sooner rather than later. Once our file has been received and reviewed, we should be given about two weeks notice for a travel date. I have no idea how long it will take to be processed. Also, I've been told there are several holidays in P's country during the month of November.
Our FSP had a jump today- Noel generously donated our $400 from the Tastefully Simple fundraiser. :) Thank you again, Noel!! <3 If you look at the green thermometer- we are only $215.50 away from raising $10,000 total toward bringing home P!! We've had donations trickle in through the ChipIn for our iPad 2 Giveaway- please keep sharing!! :) Thank you as always for the continued thoughts and prayers of support as well as your generosity financially. <3
Lina is HOME! We brought Lina home from a Russian mental institution in April 2012. Join us as we continue to help the little ones left behind!
