We have been matched with sibling pair of boys 8 and 9
We are beside ourselves and cant wait to meet them. The match was official on 9/25 a week later we got pictures. It has been 5 weeks now and still no files. I have talked to the supervisor of the area they are in and she said that the boys files are at legal for deidentifying(redacting). She called me again on Thurs and said well they are on someones desk(finally) but she dosent know how long it will take to complete and get to our CW. Everyday DH ask "anything on the files?"
We are so anxious and would like things to work out to have the boys home for Christmas. This wait is worse than a Chineese water torture! We are past being ready I have the boys rooms finished all the bedding is brand new( I wanted them to have something that was bought JUST for them) bought clothing and coats hats and gloves...they will be coming from southern mild climate to a bit colder climate. I just guessed on sizes by their ages and their builds. Im hoping that maybe next week we will get the files and can move forward to their presentation conference and then start visits.
I am wondering if I should buy each of them a suitcase? I have heard that many children show up with their few belongings in trash bags which has to be so degrading for the children.
This process is so wrong on so many levels it just makes me ill. Hopefully during this legislative session some changes can be made to make this process move along faster.
Oh boy better stop before I get on a soapbox
Ill keep everyone updated
