Heart New Adrian pic & Case update!

Hi, forum fam. Just wanted to share a new pic of my beautiful boy, Adrian. He was 3 in March this year, and growing SO fast! He is still at his hogar, but we are very hopeful that we will be in Guat soon for our empathy study . He loves music and likes to dance, loves books, and cars. I can't wait to smooch these lil cheeks !
Thx for letting me share~
please keep all of us waiting in your daily prayers; our children need to come HOME

CASE: After we complete our empathy study, the case will go to the Family Court. After family court, it is essentially the same process (I think, and of course that may change in an instant!)->final decree, new b/c, back to Embassy for visa, etc. We already have our PA, so that is something else we can skip (yay!). We're told that after the empathy study, expect anywhere from 2-3 mts before pickup.

Oh, I'm SOOOO glad to see you may be getting close to bringing A home. He's so handsome, I'm sure you're counting the days until you can go (if they'd just hurry up and give you a date, that is!).
