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.

MEDICAL...

The step that we've been told takes the longest to complete is to be able to take Asha in to see an Immigration Doctor. This is really the most important step because the doctor decides on whether or not Asha is healthy enough to leave SVG and to come to live in Canada. We are not worried in the least because she is such a healthy baby, but it is more of a safety precaution.

So, we ended up getting a call from Lynda (Asha's foster Mom) to tell us that she had some news, good news. She got a call from the St. Vincent adoption board and was told that everything is ready for the medical to be completed. Lynda called and made an appointment and Asha will see the Immigration Doctor tomorrow! This is a huge blessing to be at this place in the process already. Really after this part is finished, the rest should only take a month or so to finish. Lynda said that our lawyer and adoption board in SVG are trying to get everything pushed through as fast as they can because they know we are coming! What we thought would once be a two to three month stay in St. Vincent may only be a month long depending on how quickly her Visa and other documents get issued. PRAISE GOD!

Please pray that everything goes through smoothly tomorrow and that Asha Mikaela gets a clean bill of health!
