God is good. We got that exciting phone call from CHI today saying we have an official referral. Of course I cried I was so happy. I felt like breathing a huge sigh of relief that the wait is finally over. Come January it will be two years since we started the adoption process.
Now we have to write a letter of acceptance to Colombia and tell them when we plan to arrive. They will respond with another letter telling us if that date will work. Once that’s figured out we can purchase plane tickets and then use those to get our travel visas. Meanwhile, we’ll gather all our paperwork, get things we’re missing for the girls, celebrate with family and friends, then pack and fly far away.
