Finally after all of this waiting we have answers!!! We had our meeting with Fundacion Mi Casa today at 11:00am. Denise the lady in charge of their adoption program interviewed us and got all of our information. She was FABULOUS!!! She answered all of our questions. Here´s what we´ve learned.
There are 3 parts to the process.
The first is about 3 months or so of interviews, mainly with psychologists to determine that the couple/family is fit to adopt and if so, how many kids. This also includes a visit to our home, interviews with our older kids etc...
The second and third step include all the legal stuff and final placement of the child.
We do not get to meet the child/children before we get the call to ¨come get your kid/kids.¨ I takes UNDER a year from start to finish!!!
So, if we were to start today, we could have 2 more kids BY August!!! WOW!! However, we have to have our Permanent Residency visas BEFORE we can finalize an adoption. Also, if we don´t finalize an adoption within one year of our first Phych visit, we have to start that part of the process all over again!
Therefore, we are waiting until July to start the first part of the process. By that time, I will be done teaching Biology at the ABWE mission school and will have more time to ¨nest.¨ We are excited to see God answer prayers. We are still praying for twins younger than age 3, but we trust the LORD for HIS answers to our prayers!!!
We´ll keep you updated!!
