Referral !!!

We have been waiting along time to publish this post. REFERRAL!!! As many of you know, we have been reviewing information on a little boy from Colombia for a few months. We asked to be matched with him back in May and finally received the email from our social worker, that he "Ruben" has been assigned to us. It has taken along time to get our paperwork from the main ICBF office to the region, and having both places approve the assignment. Now we wait some more. All of Ruben's information will be gathered and sent to our social worker, translated, and then off to us. Then we start filling out the Hague paperwork and narrow down to a travel date. We will wait to send our official acceptance letter and receive our designation letter before publishing pictures and specifics on Ruben. We will be headed to Monteria to meet our little guy. At this point, it looks like October to travel. We were hoping for August, but timing isn't always in our favor. Sacrifices will be made, and we are very greatful for family and friends to help with our girls during our time away. Dad is glad he was able to hunt several days last year, because this year it looks like hunting season is in Colombia. It will be well worth it.
