SUBMITTED!!!

Which means that our dossier has been accepted by a certain Eastern European country AND that the sibling group IS still available for international adoption AND that we should be traveling in 10-12 weeks!!

Thank you Jesus!

Stumbled on your blog! There's not so many Catholic adoptive families.... Oh, I wish you the very best, and while I can't help at this moment, as soon as I can, I'll do my best.
