God Doesn't Make Mistakes

For Amanda

Monday, April 7, 2008

Answers to some questions :o)

A few folks asked us about who was going to Estonia when we travel to adopt Amanda. It will be just DH Tom and I. Estonia sets the court date before you travel, so you know exactly how long one spouse has to be there.
Tom will leave as soon as the court date is over and he can sign the paperwork at the US Consulate in Tallinn. We will need a babysitter for the girls for those few days. We have faith we can arrange that unlike the 6 weeks we would have needed for Meghan.

While I do not like the thought of being away from my family and especially my daughters for any length of time; I am hopeful I will not be in Estonia for an extended period of time, certainly not the 6 week stay like Ukraine. The paperwork says 10 working days; I have learned though to expect the unexpected!
We are trying to get our ducks in a row, still trying to decide what to bring. We have not heard back from a lot of people about gifts to bring, I would love some more ideas.

Thank you Dawn, I figure everything happens in the time frame it is supposed to happen in. Still raising money, not as successfully as we would wish. Times are hard for so many people, but God will help us find a way.
