We just learned today that after 7 weeks in Colombia our dossier is finished being translated. I knew something was not right after the third week when we didn't hear the translation was complete and I have been waiting rather impatiently for the explaination since then. For our first adoption it took only 2 weeks for our dossier to be translated and for our second adoption it took only 3 weeks to be translated, so 7 weeks for the translator that our agency uses in Colombia is very long compared to the norm. Apparently someone in the translator's family is ill and the translator has been busy with that. I hope that they are recovering soon.

However, it is done now and after our agency representative looks over it it, will be submitted to ICBF either tomorrow or hopefully early next week.

I guess that as a mother of a 3 year old and a 2 year old I still need to learn MORE patience, especially for things I cannot control!
