Our documents (Dossier) are traveling.........

Today our adoption documents (Dossier) are "traveling" to our child's country.
Dawn and Rich Brook (adoptive family as well) are carrying our Dossier  with them. They are starting the last part of their journey to get their child from the same country. We are very happy and excited for them!!! God bless them with a safe trip and a smooth in-country adoption process.
We received yesterday our I-171H (Immigration approval for adoption) . This was the last document we needed to complete our Dossier. We can start to rest a little bit now from papers , and ready to begin the "wait and wait"  stage of the process.
Did I mention that our courier in Tallahassee Karen Rubin ,once again ,has been wonderful?!!!

I am starting back with full caseload at work. So, the days will go faster and the waiting will be easier.....hopefully.
We went to the beach this weekend with Daniel and Lucia,we had lots of fun , but we couldn't help missing our little boy.....soon he will be playing and enjoying the beach with us.... we are praying for "soon"....

Daniel and Lucia , Daniel asked several times when will his brother be here to play in the sand with him!
Praying today for God's presence in  our little one's life ,praying for kind and loving caregivers in his orphanage ,willing to hold him in their arms and care for him with God's love.........until we can get there!

Daniel's graduation day.....Thank you Father...

Heavenly Father , I thank You for the blessings I receive every day, I thank You for every good and perfect gift that You have given to us . Thank you for the beauty that surrounds me, thank you for Your provision , for my family and friends, for my health, but most of all, thank You for Your son , Jesus Christ.
Today, our 5 years old son Daniel graduated from pre-school.
We are all so proud of him! Here few pics from his graduation at McGregor Early Learning Academy (from Mc Gregor Baptist Church) he is ready to start Kindergarten at Southwest Florida Christian Academy in August!!!.

Daniel and his proud brothers Javier and Sergio 

Tonight I'm also praying  for our little boy that soon will be part of all our family activities,
I pray for his health, I pray for his heart to be touched by our Lord's healing Hand.
I pray that somebody in his orphanage smiled at him and kissed him for me today,
I pray that he is not feeling lonely , that somehow in his heart he can feel that he already has a family that is praying for him every day and a mommy that loves him and can't wait to meet him and hold him..

Psalms 107:1
Give thanks to The Lord , for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.

Few more papers....

Today I had the best gift!!!I had a nice lunch with my 2 older boys Sergio and Javier!!!!
It was so nice to see them and to talk with both of them over lunch. They even brought me red roses!,
I love these boys!!!! They were very happy to know that Cristobal ,their older brother , and his wife Stacy are coming from San Antonio (Tx) in July. We can't wait to see them!
My roses!


Today we completed 13 more documents for our adoption. That makes a total of 43 documents  sent to Secretary of State in Tallahassee for apostille.
We are getting closer to our little one.......
I am very glad this stage of the process is almost over. A little tired of the stress of the paperwork..
Thank you Lord for your guidance!
I will stay away from papers today!!!!!

You have no idea..........

.....of the rush that we have started, taking all the steps to be able to go get you and bring you home!!!

We are praying for you, asking God to protect you and to help us get to you as soon as possible.

Right now, we are at home after a day of work and School for your little brother Daniel and your sister Lucia. I look out the window and imagine you, more than likely sleeping (you are 6 hours ahead of us). Soon we will have you here, playing and running around, getting a lot of kisses and (like Daniel call them) "octopus hugs"!!!

Love you much!!!

Your Daddy

Home Study is done , with the great help from Stacey Greenberg (SW)from our Home Study Agency : Embraced by Grace . We just need to get approval now from USCIS for a different (2nd) country; not the initial option in our I600A.
Thanks God for Tammy Plucker !!! She has been an angel helping us with the notarization of our paperwork!!!
Thank you Lord!! ,It feels good to be done with a big percentage of the paperwork!!! Able to do it Only with YOUR help !!!!!

Praying for His Guidance today.....

The last few days have been very important, and very stressful . We had to make decisions regarding family issues and how it will affect our adoption process....
Lord, allow us to recognize the signs and paths You place in before us.

Sleep tight little one , we love you,
We will be there soon....
