Dossier mailed part 1

This week I mailed our Dossier. The Dossier is basically a paper version of Daniel and I and it is what gets sent to Colombia. The Colombian officials review our Dossier and then decide if we are approved to adopt and which city we can adopt from. I mailed it to a company here(in the US) that reviews, confirms and approves all the documents to ensure they are EXACTLY what Colombia wants and needs.

 Once we get our Dossier approved here in the US it will then be sent to Colombia.We are thrilled that we have gathered all the documents and now we are just waiting on verification. This is the last BIG step of paperwork pre-adoption. This is how Colombia finds out that we have a place for a baby already growing inside us. Once our Dossier is sent, translated and processed in Colombia the real wait time begins!! Our hope is that by August we will begin our official wait of 6-15 months!!! Though prayer and in our hearts we believe we will have a baby by THIS TIME NEXT YEAR!!!

We are trusting God with the details of this paperwork and that He has gone ahead of us to prepare the officials for an easy approval of our paperwork. We know we cannot work out the details ourselves, but He already  has a master plan that is better than we could even do in our own strength. 

It has truly been a great week for Messengers of Love!! I am blown away by the generosity of people to help us bring our beautiful Colombian baby home!
