Today the rest of our paperwork came in! Everything is complete and official as far as paperwork goes.
Earlier today I was talking to our agency in Ohio. She was telling me if we could get everything to the Oregon office before Monday, that there is a possibility our paperwork could be in Colombia to be delivered to be translated on Tuesday next week. The Colombia program director is out of our Oregon office and will be traveling to Colombia next Tuesday.
So when I saw the paperwork had been delivered today, I was so excited. I was anxious to be able to send it. I am not able to share a lot of details at this time, but Eric was on the phone at the time I was checking off all of the items on our dossier list to be sure we had everything in order to send. He hung up the phone and explained that if I was ready with the paperwork that it could be in the Oregon office tomorrow morning with the $750 check we need to send with it, thanks to the phone call he had just hung up. He hustled out the door and was on his way to get the check then to overnight the paperwork.
So at this moment, our paperwork is on its way to Oregon for them to check over, then off to Colombia to be translated. Everything is out of our hands and completely in God’s control. How quickly the paperwork is processed and our family is matched with our children is all in God’s timing.
The wait has officially begun. There are a few important things to take place. First the Oregon office has to check through everything to be sure our paperwork is perfect and ready to send. I don’t foresee any problems with this, as our local agency has gone over everything with a fine tooth comb. I understand the translation process takes about two weeks, but I do not have confirmation on that. Hopefully we will be given a timeline for the translation next week. Then the paperwork will go to the ICBF in Colombia. This is the government agency that our adoption will be processed through. Once they receive the paperwork, they will then have to approve it. I will have a better timeline soon.
So for now, we wait anxiously for the phone to ring to let us know our paperwork is moving along through the process. In the meantime we will be sending $5175 to pay our program fee then the agency will be sending us a travel guide for us to prepare for the next phase. I am so excited to begin this next phase. Even though it is hard to wait it is a much more pleasant wait. God already knows who our kids are and where they are and when we are supposed to meet them. So we will let Him work his plan and patiently wait for the call that ICBF has a referral for us.
Adios for now.
