Before we even left Vietnam I had a strong feeling that we would adopt again. And I believe Jake was pretty much on board before we even landed in Vancouver again (although he was adamant that this was baby number last. Even told our agency if I tried calling after this to ignore my calls, hehe). Not really ones to wait too long, we got started on updating our home study on the very day we completed our six month post-placement meeting. We knew how long completing the home study and dossier took last time, and wanted to get going again on that as soon as possible. Pipsqueak was adjusting incredibly well, and apparently we were coping well enough, so we got the go ahead from our agency.
This is the part where I get slightly vague, because I can't share too many details. I can't say what country we are adopting from this time around, but our information was sent off in February and we were settling in for what we figured would be at least a few months wait.
Except it wasn't a few months. It was more like a week.
We got a phone call last week and we are so excited to say that we have another daughter! The boys were not-so-secretly hoping for a brother but even they couldn't wipe the silly grins off their faces when we got her picture.
Timeline wise, we aren't expecting to travel until August at the very earliest, to bring her home. Unfortunately, this begins the hardest part of waiting for all the paperwork to go through. Prayers that everything goes smoothly would be so very much appreciated! And for health and safety for our baby. We would just love to hop on an airplane tomorrow to get to her but sadly we know it will still be a while.
