The Democratic Republic of Guatemalopia!

The word is out and we are officially in the process of becoming a family of 5! We are adopting a little girl . She is about two and a half and we are currently waiting for her to be transfered to the care of a Pastor who will foster her with his family until we can go and get her. We will be busy in the next month finishing the basement so we can move the office down there and start decorating her room. I am also having fun learing about cornrows, braids, twists, etc. It has only been about a month since we decided to move forward with a third adoption, and things are moving very fast! A bit different than our other 2 adoptions where there was more waiting than moving! We are very excited about finally having a daughter and can't wait to meet her!

We are using Our Family Adoptions, its not a formal agency per se. There is a wonderful attorney named Jilma who volunteers her time and has contacts in the Congo to process the adoption. It is closer to an independant adoption than a traditional agency.
