Today we finished and mailed the application to be accepted as adoptive parents. This is only to get the agency to accept us. This is only the start of what will likely be a 2 year journey....here is what we are looking at as far as timeline.
1 week from start: get application accepted with agency
3-4 months from start: Complete Dossier (official documents to be sent to Haiti), get matched with a child
6-8 months from start: travel to Haiti to meet child for a week
18-24 months from start: travel back to Haiti to bring child home
All of this is really just a guess based on what families are seeing who are in process right now. We will need to apply for a presidential waiver in order to be accepted as adoptive parents in Haiti. Please pray that the President of Haiti finds our family acceptable and signs our waiver in a very timely fashion. (He doe not even have our letter on his desk yet, but we can still pray now, right??)So, here is Big Brother Silas mailing off our application!!! (He is currently praying for a little brother)
