Dossier Approved
Zach and I received great news on September 30, the day after Zach’s birthday. We were contacted by our adoption agency to hear that our dossier had been approved by Colombia for 2 siblings between the ages of 0-4. This was such exciting news for us because we thought we would be getting children between 0-6. To us, 2 years makes a huge difference and we praise the Lord for this unexpected blessing.
Now we are officially on the waiting list in Colombia along with all other foreign and Colombian families. Julie told us that Summer of 2010 is a reasonable time period to expect a referral but it could happen a little sooner or later than that. We are going to check in every 3 months to see how things are progressing.
Thank you to all who have been praying for us and walking beside us through this journey. It really means a lot to us to have so much support and understanding.
On another note, you may have noticed that my blog looks different. That’s because I accidentally sabotaged it and I can’t fix it! So, this will be my last post on Grand Plans. However, I will continue the story of my children and my family on a new website called ardenlane.net. It’s not up and running yet but it will be soon. So keep checking in and join me as I stroll down Arden Lane.
Peace to all,
Renee

Awesome news! Will be praying for you along the wait! Please let us know on the yahoo board when you change your blog address. I want to update my blog (I have yours linked!). Thanks! and Congratulations, you are PAPER PREGNANT!
Must get a cool t-shirt to celebrate. They have them at adoptionmama.com I think. I had to get one and wore mine proudly! Ha! It always made me excited and I was able to promote adoption, too!
