Our Growing Family: Adopting from Haiti

Adoption...it is an exciting and yet somewhat frightening path to follow. I've decided to create a blog to describe this journey for several reasons: to document our adoption process, to help others who may have some of the same questions and concerns that we have or once had, and to share our experiences with our friends and family.

SPECIAL DELIVERY FROM HAITI TODAY!!

It's here! After working on this adoption for 21 months, TODAY we received our OFFICIAL finalized adoption from Haiti. I wasn't expecting the REAL documents this soon as everything in Haiti is such a long process, and we just received the scans two weeks ago. But it's here with the Judge's signatures and court seals/stamps in INK!

I've never seen anything like these documents; they are definitely not from a first world country. They were generated on a type writer and one of very poor quality, the paper is ledger size and has been folded multiple times in various directions depending on the document. There are no real margins and the words and signatures nearly go off the page at times. But there are stamps and dates and signatures in all different colors. They are the most beautiful documents I've ever laid eyes on because they say that my little boy is forever my little boy.

Praise God!
