Still Not in IBESR

We did get our August updates on the kids. Ronese has taken her first step! Wiguerson is active and loves to play with his mates. Good thing, because we have one here who is also active and always looking for a mate to play with.

We have been matched for four months and the kids have been in the orphanage for five. We are still waiting to get to the first step. We had hoped that because we meet all the country's qualifications (at least 35, married 10 or more years and no biological children) and because our dossier has been there a while and our children are biological siblings, that we would be one of the "easy" and "faster" families. It does not look like that is the case at all. We were not "in" before the storms so I think we are experiencing a "rain delay" and hoping to be out on the field soon! (That was my one sports reference for the year. Just thinking of you, Kyle.)

Pray for sunshine.

WOW! Good job. Great use of sports analogy - but so sad that things aren't moving quicker. They will, but so so hard to be patient!!!

Marc and I met all the requirements too. We have been married 17 years, no bio-kids and sadly, over 35 years of age. We were in IBESR for 8 months and 1 week. It made no sense why we were stuck and others came out so quickly. Don't despair, it will happen eventually. Now we are in the second part of 2nd legal and I so hope it goes quickly and we are into MOI....like yesterday. Don't feel bad, lots of us understand the frustration of feeling stuck and not seeing any progress.

I totally know how you feel. Due to the enormous Christmas break that the government takes, it took us 5 months after we were matched to get in to IBESR. You'll get in soon, and hopefully things will start chugging along for you guys :)
