Our case worker contacted us on August 21st and said that our Dossier had been translated! We were so excited to hear the news. This is another big step on our way to getting our baby! For the first time it feels like things are flowing and moving along at a good pace.
When we opened our email to see that our Dossier was translated we were so excited. It also makes this whole process much more real. We are both overcome with joy, excitement, nervousness and hope that God's timing is perfect. It's hard to sit back and rest in the fact that God has totally got this. We find ourselves wanting to plan, prepare and take control. Adoption isn't really something you can control, but we still try to fool ourselves into thinking we can. Each day we remind ourselves that our God is big, perfect and in control. He is way better at taking care of us and planning for the future He created.
We are thankful to have people praying and believing for us and we could not go through this process with out the love and support of so many people. We still have Messengers of Love for sale if you want to help us bring our baby home. I will post pictures in my next blog.

Big News!!!
The last few weeks have been so great for us! On July 21st our Dossier arrived in Colombia!!!!! This is so big!! It has been a journey to get or Dossier completed but seeing the Fedex receipt say it had arrived in Bogota Colombia was such a thrill.
What this means is that our Dossier will spend approximately 6 weeks getting translated into Spanish. We are hopeful that this translation process will happen more quickly. We are praying and believing for translation of our Dossier to be complete by next week! Once our Dossier is translated, it will be sent to a government agency for review. This is where we will get any requests for updates or corrections that Colombia may need. Our agency says that generally Colombia requests more information or clarification on the Psychology Report.
Once our Dossier is approved it will be sent to an Orphanage and we will begin out 6- 15 month wait time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are thrilled to have things really moving forward. It is exciting to have the wait be for things that need to happen in Colombia. Daniel and I are dreaming big and praying a lot for our little Colombian baby. Thanks for following:)
