It was fun having Cadence with us this weekend. She’s 2 1/2, so the boys got a taste of having a little sister around. They loved it…..it’s been a while since we’ve had a toddler, so I’m going to have to brush up on my skills. ( I am pretty sure that Sean has no chance when Julianna comes home. I think I’ve already been knocked down in rank.)
We have been waiting about 3 weeks for Julianna’s Emigration Permit to be approved. After that, it’s a court date, then a travel call, then a first trip, then a “bringing home our girl” trip about 5 weeks later. We have no idea when all of this will happen. I’m tired of speculating because things keep changing. So, when we know, you’ll know!
Two trips weren’t originally in the plan, so here’s a way you can help us out. If you like coffee, go look at Just Love Coffee. They have coffee, mugs, grinders, specialty blends, etc. If you shop through this link, we’ll get a portion of the sale. Shopping and coffee–yay! We’ll probably be on the Give1Save1Asia blog soon, so we’ll keep you posted. We have a matching grant with Brittany’s Hope. {<<click that link to give} Just donate to “special needs adoptions” and type in our name. Your gift will be doubled:):) Aannndd, we still have our She Does Justice link. (cool stuff like scarves, bracelets, bags, etc. – a fellow adoptive mama runs that site) Thanks for hanging in there with us. We’re really thankful for everyone who’s supported us.
If you missed the FAQ post from a few months ago, you can read it here. (posted in January) I know a lot of you may not know all about our adoption, so you can catch up there.
Alright, that’s it for now. I’m still tired from our busy weekend!
