Fingerprinting Time!

28 Nov

Hello everyone!  Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve posted.  It’s been another month of filing paperwork with our lawyer in Uganda, filing paperwork with Homeland Security here–sounds impressive. Lol.  We just got a letter recently that we need to go get our fingerprinting done in a couple of weeks.  I’m doing a bit of fundraising for the added expenses of clothes, room decor, etc. by selling beads made from magazines by the women in Uganda.  Here’s a photo of some of the ones I have for $10 each.  Great Fair Trade purchase and a great way to have a little piece of Uganda.

We have a lawyer in Uganda who’s working on our case to investigate the children’s case and to find witnesses.  When everything is investigated, our lawyer will get a court date.  Hopefully, we’ll get about a month’s notice because we’ll be there at least 4 weeks once we get there.  Stan will probably only stay a couple of weeks and I’ll be there until everything is resolved.  So…I’ll get a chance to bond with the kids…learn some Luganda… find my way around Kampala…read?  Met friends at the airport recently who are brought their little boy back.  So exciting!  Appreciate them and being able to watch their process start to finish!

When I asked my friends how the other children responded to Daniel being adopted, my friend said that our boy was so excited!  He knew he could be next!  Thank you guys for all the prayers.  We’ll let you know as soon as we get a court date:)
