Loooooong Day

It's been a stressful couple of days...

We were told on Monday that we might have to have 3 weeks of bonding with the girls (which would be close to a month of total time being gone) instead of the normal 2 weeks. We were in quite a panic and decided that Ryleigh and Reagan would just have to go with us, since the thought of being away from them for a month made me want to throw-up. Problem #1, Ryleigh's passport expired on Jan. 9th. Problem #2, Reagan doesn't have a U.S. passport or a Missouri birth certificate to get a passport. So, we were frantically coming up with a plan how to solve both of these problems. In the meantime, we heard back from Cathy, our case worker, who had received an email from Daina, the Latvia coordinator, that said we could stay for the normal 2 weeks bonding time. So after all the unnecessary worry and anxiety, we have official travel dates...

February 7th to February 26th! A long time to be away from the little girls. I am, however, so excited to see Agnese and Daniela and start this new chapter in all of our lives!

I am also praying for the changes at Bright Beginnings and for wisdom in following God's will.
