Happy NEWS...Foster mom VISA
Emma's foster mom e-mailed me today to say SHE GOT her visa today! I am so excited. I wrote a letter in support and invited her to visit us next month...now we are working on DATES and FLIGHTS! I am so happy. We love Emma's first family so much. (Our foster Dad already has his visa and will be coming too!)
Just wanted to share that SOME due get visas...so don't give up if this is something your foster family wants. I encourage you to send the letters...it might just work! I cannot wait for Emma to get to see them next month! Best wishes to all,

That is great.
I thought about this, but thought it would be impossible. Thanks for sharing and congratulations - such a great thing for Emma and her first and forever families.

Awesome! I know how close you are to Astrid. She must be so excited about seeing Emma. This is a stupid question, but are their visas just to visit, or to move here?
