So... the birth certificate, marriage license, and not-right-notary were not the end of our troubles. We go to mail our stuff only to have our consultant leave the country but they assured us that if we sent it they would take care of it. So we sent it and they found out our police report was too old (this gathering paperwork has taken a long time. 2 full-time jobs one of which is on an off-shift has really messed this stuff up).
So then I go to the local police to see if I can just get both of our letters but nope they won't let me get Josh's. They say just leave your info and your husband can come tomorrow and get it done. Then Josh worked over so he didn't make it that day but he did the next and so I thought we'd mail it back off that night. I go to get the paperwork and mines not there they told him he couldn't have it. So another day went by before I got back over to the police station to get that straightened out and once again in the mail.
Woohoo everything was there but there was still one more step before "paper pregnancy" was really here. I wonder how long this last step takes so I ask and my consultant says probably within the next week or two. That same day I get an email that we are on the list! On the list! Officially paper pregnant!! Woohoo! So then I have to know, what number on the list are we? 85... So I can't wait for those 84 other families to be complete so that we can too.
Since we are waiting for siblings we have a pretty big wait ahead of us. An elephant has a gestation time of 22 months. So the bet is on, who will win an elephant who got pregnant last week or me and Josh? Any takers?
Isaiah 40:31 Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
