Thanks for joining in on our journey towards creating our forever family...

This is the place you can come to witness the adventures we experience as we adopt our child from the beautiful country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. We hope you will come back often to learn about where we're at in the process, the culture of our child, our hopes and dreams, and to leave comments of encouragement.

ANY NEWS IS BETTER THAN NO NEWS...

We have some great news to share! Many people in the Caribbean probably think that we have been stalking the immigration department in Trinidad. We have been faxing them for weeks now, almost every day, asking for updates and any information about our adoption. They must have gotten tired of getting our faxes so frequently because we finally got a response back! It said:

Good Afternoon:

This refers to your request for an update on the application for permanent residence in Canada of Asha Mikaela Parisien.

Please be advised that medical instructions and a request for the Adoption Order for Asha was sent to the applicant in care of Ms. Agnes Cato on 18 March 2009.

Regards,

VISA Section
Canadian High Commission
Port of Spain
Trinidad and Tobago


What does this mean? It means we are that much closer to bringing Asha home. This is the step that takes the longest time and that we have been waiting for since December. Now all our lawyer Ms. Cato needs to do is have an immigration Doctor go over the medical forms, then we wait to have Asha's visa issued. It should hopefully only be two more months until everything is done, and with us arriving in the Caribbean May 2nd, we may be able to actually bring Asha home by the beginning of June! Wouldn't that be amazing!
