Here is how "fast" this is happening. We received the email referral on Thursday, October 3rd. October 10th all paperwork arrived at the Lithuanian lawyer's office- they stated it would take a week to a month for this to happen. Today, October 16th, all documents arrived, fully translated. That's SUPER fast to translate all these documents AND get it to Michigan! What a huge blessing!
We have composed and sent in our official acceptance.
What does this mean?
It means that potentially tomorrow, Friday, October 17th, Asher and Annalise will learn that after 4.5 years, they finally have a family that wants them. If they don't learn it Friday, they should be told on Monday.
I can't even imagine what their reaction will be. They have lived in this Baby House their entire lives. That is all they know. BUT We have been told that kids are VERY excited to be given a family- that at 4 1/2, they understand what a big deal this is, and it tends to be a rather exciting time for them. I so wish I could be there, but I can't. Instead, we will send a care package to them. It has things that we have been told they enjoy- water colors, a doll, and a coloring book for Annalise; matchbox car, Legos, and a coloring book for Asher. Also included is a book full of pictures of us for them. There is also a ton of little plastic key-chain monkeys for them to share with all their friends. Little things- but things that I hope they treasure and know that are sent with lots of love! We can now also send weekly emails and pictures via email!
We are SO excited! Please continue to pray that things go smoothly and quickly. Pray that we can sell lots of raffle tickets as the final $10,000 is getting super close, super fast!
