As what was supposed to be 2 days quickly turned into 3 weeks of waiting, we finally got the answers to our questions on the twin boys. We are still waiting on the full current medical exam info before we have a review by an international adoption specialist, but we are so pleased with the amount of information we have so far and things are looking really good. We have learned their options to stay in country have truly been exhausted, there is no one else to care for them, no objections forseeable, paperwork and documentation looks great compared to standards typical in their country, we have a description of their personality and they have been steadily increasing in weight and health as they are recovering from severe malnourishment. The medical clinic they have been seen at since being in care is top notch and incredibly rare and prized care for Sierra Leone. Stay tuned for our next post about the impressive and fun connection we found out about their medical clinic which answers a lot of questions and put our minds at ease. Our boys are in good hands and we already have much information beyond what is common for adoptions in this country. God has really had His hand on these boys and our adoption and the details He has orchestrated never cease to amaze me. We are well aware that adoptions are a hurry up and wait process and that things fall through and hearts are broken, but as of this moment as much as we can predict the future (and we can't, but know and trust the One who holds it), it looks like these boys will be ours and will be coming home and we are comfortable enough to call them ours and expect the adoption to proceed. Then, lots of hard work will begin for them and us...with learning a new family, a new country, a new home, a new beginning, learning to trust, learning to heal and love again, beauty from ashes.
