Well, the whole process of paperwork, more paperwork, being fingerprinted like we had committed a crime, and then filling out more paperwork is over for now. We have submitted our dossier to All God's Children and it has been officially reviewed and accepted. We also received our favorable determination letter from the government soon after we were fingerprinted. This means that everything that we need to move forward is in and accepted.
Since we are on the waiting list, our next step will be to receive a referral. This will be a while, though. We are number 141 on the list for a girl, number 122 on the list for a boy, and number 56 on the list for siblings. The projected timeline is 19-20 months to receive a referral.
We will receive an update each month as to where we fall on the waiting list. As we wait, we plan to spend the coming months preparing what we can to have an additional member (or members:)) in our family. We are going to try to move the boys into the same bedroom and build some bunk beds. This may be as much or more of an adjustment than a new child!
