She and her husband found their children on a waiting child list of older sibling groups last fall. They were supposed to have them home months ago. Troy & I finished our dossier this spring and knew we would wait 2-3 years for our referral! Unfortunate delays and red tape made Jess' wait drag on. We thought she would be in Ethiopia by April or May! Those months came and went but she hadn't received her court date yet.
Meanwhile, on May 1st -- our lives were forever changed with the unexpected and joyful referral of our daughter -- Laney.
So, as it turns out -- our two families began this crazy adventure at the same time....and we're actually all traveling to get our children within the same 6 week period! Given the difference in the programs, process and wait times for China versus Ethiopia -- It's amazing!
I can't wait to hear how her travels go and to see pictures of her beautiful children (Adam, Natalie and Molly) getting hugs & kisses from their new parents! Those kids are blessed! And they have five awesome sisters that can't wait to meet them. If you want to see pictures of my friends, visit Jess' blog. It's listed in my blog index as "Jess' 3 from E."
Travel fast Jess! Travel safe! Bring those sweet kids home!
