We are home. Exhausted. Jet-lagged and missing the sweetest little boy across the ocean.
You know what's precious about this picture?? It's the first time he hugged Rob and it wasn't a quick little hug, but a "wrap his arms around Papa and hold on for dear life" type of hug.
We are not home for long. We have court on April 21st. My birthday. We fly back out next weekend.
Hopefully all the requested paperwork will be finished by then and we can have an easy court and a grand birthday celebration!!
Passing court does not mean he gets to come home right away. That would be way too easy! After court there is a mandatory 10-14 day waiting period and THEN we can start the process of actually bringing him home.
At this point we are still up in the air about all the details surrounding his homecoming (who stays, who goes, who comes back etc.)
For today we are going to rest and enjoy being home. We will worry about details when we are a little less foggy in the brain!
oh ! great ! Bon courage !

One of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. I am so excited for your family and your upcoming birthday court day. Praying for things to go smoothly from here on out.
ReplyDeleteIan will be missing you! I'm glad he won't be alone for long. I'll be praying for an easy court process and a quick trip home. I always think that Ian looks so much like his mama. :) It's only fair, as Aaron looks so much like his dad and big brothers. :) Handsome guys, all of them. samm
