Yep, that sums it all up...paperwork, research for paperwork, going through old paperwork for information for the new paperwork. The state of SC wants to know information on everything we have ever done in our lives (the good, bad, and the ugly...) And it's not just paperwork for the adoption agency. It's passport applications and immigration paperwork. It amazes me the love and support everyone has shown for us. Charlotte is already one blessed and loved little girl! Thank you to all of you! Several people have asked how they can help. We will have fundraising information coming soon, along with ways to donate to our account through our agency. Most of all, keep praying!
In recent weeks, a judge in Uganda placed the stipulation on an adoption that the family must return to the country every 5 years with their adopted child. This is an isolated incident and one that cannot be enforced. However, it has spooked some families who were in the process of adopting and they are dropping out of the program. Pray for this country-it is a dark part of the world, and children need forever families. There are an estimated 2.5 MILLION orphans living in a country the size of Oregon. That is 20% of all children in that country. One of them is our daughter.
