Our Colombian adoption journey started on January 12, 2007, when we signed an adoption agreement with Children's Hope International. On paper the 18 to 24 months did not seem so bad, to actually go through all of that and realize that in actuality the wait truly begins when Colombia has your dossier and has approved the dossier, is, to say the least, grueling. The hardest time of my life. So now two years seven months and 4 days later, we are here. Matched with two beautiful girls, ages 3 and 6. 25 days until we meet our daughters. The to do list at the moment is daunting...paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwork, Dr. appts., fingerprints, gifts for the girls foster family, gifts for others that will help us in Colombia, Clothes for both girls while we are there, two rooms ready, ect. ect. ect. In two words this time is truly "happy chaos".
