We are moving forward ....YAY!

Our FBI background checks arrived yesterday,  I nearly hugged the Fedex man!  LOL We are thrilled, it only took 36 days from the time we Fedex'd it to the FBI.

So today I am Fedexing these to Washington DC to be authenticated.  I am sending them to a courier that will hand carry my 2 documents to be authenticated at the State Department.  This will be done same day on Monday. Then it will go to the Kenya Embassy in DC,  I'm not sure how long that will take.  With 25 documents it took a week,  with 2 documents I am hoping it will take less time.

So perhaps by the end of next week I will have these documents returned to us ..... maybe.  I will keep you posted :)  

Moving forward .. Yahoo!!!

April Photo Challenge .... Just DO IT!

Like the Nike slogan ... Just DO IT! From my Dear friend 'Jo' in Canada

For all you Mom's out there who are in the same position as we are - WAITING. I hope you consider joining my challenge - something to help the time pass! I could use a little distraction.... so let's do it!

I know we are late... but here you go... snag this photo and posted on your blog and post one photo a day. I realize we missed the first two... and I will make it up by posting them later. But for now we have Day #3.

Woo Hoo! We have NAC Approval!

Last evening we got the news that the NAC approved our dossier!!!!  What does that mean?
That means the Kenyan government/ruling body for adoption has approved us to adopt children from Kenya!
We are official!
So it's typically a 60 day wait until we get our referral,  which is the information about our adopted children. Our agency will send us information about the children they wish for us to adopt and we accept it.
After we accept we file some immigration paperwork for those specific children that will make them US citizens as soon as they arrive back in the US after the adoption is complete.
After we file that we are free to go to Kenya :)

We are off to Kenya the first week in June!  We have a house to live in. We are thrilled :)
