Yo yo yo!
So, it's been a while but I am SO happy and motivated to post today because there is finally some good news in the adoption world! Blog friends of mine, Carolyn and Adam and Rana and Yvan have both passed court and their boys are officially THEIR SONS!
Congratulations to all of you guys! I am so happy for you. Their wait to pass court has been TORTUROUS. Seriously, the longest waits ever. Rana and Yvan had to wait 10 months to pass court due to paperwork "issues". And Carolyn and Adam waited 14 months. 14 months people! This is unheard of. We passed court in two months to put it all into perspective. So please please please leave them a comment either on their blog or if you don't have access to Carolyn's private blog please leave your congrats here and I know she will read it!
I am just so inspired by these people. Although I haven't met them I know they are amazing individuals. They never gave up on their kids, even when their own agency said (to A & C) that perhaps they should accept another referral. They had to grieve their son, and try so hard to open their hearts to someone else. But they never stopped hoping it would work out. And then, they got the best news ever.... the paperwork came though and they passed court! It truly is miraculous. This little boy almost went back to an orphanage and was so close to being deemed un-adoptable. And now he will have a home. A family.
Congrats to all of you guys. I'm praying for some seriously fast immigration worker so you can all be united at last!

I can't imagine waiting that long. The strength of those families is amazing and I'm very happy for all of them that soon they will be united.

Emily- thanks for the kind words- you are too sweet. We were only able to survive this past year because of supportive people like you. It is amazing the wonderful people we meet on this journey. Hope to meet in person some day!

I'm so happy to hear this news! I read Carolyn's blog a couple times after they got their referral - I can't imagine being in their shoes and am totally blown away by their strength to keep moving forward. I hope both families get their visas soon so they can finally be united with their sons!!! and I hope Lindsay and Kevin are next!!!
Thanks Emily! Like Carolyn said, we too, couldn't have made without the support from the adoption community near and far...you've always been checking in to see how we are doing...love it!
Thanks and hopefully we will meet soon the next time we on the coast.
(Didn't make it in May because we had to cancel the trip to update our dossier....but boy oh boy was it worth it!)
Congratulations to both families. I remember reading Carolyn and Adam's blog before it became private and they have never left my thoughts. I'm so thrilled to finally hear this happy ending for you!
Wow... that is crazy how long they had to wait. Congrats to your friends passing court!!!!
Cheers to the great news. Two couples, so deserving finally become parents. WOOHOO!
