Welcome!

This blog began as we documented our adoption of our third child, Caleb. It is now an eclectic journal of our often amusing lifestyle with 4 young children.

We do try to "keep it simple" because our lives are obviously busy enough! We try to hold true to what we firmly believe is the most important: family, friends, and faith.

We hope you enjoy our everyday happenings!

OUTTA Family Court, into PGN next week!

FINALLY!!! We have the word that we are out of Family Court and are entering PGN. In simple terms, PGN is like an Attorney General's office, which has to go over all of the documents to approve of the adoption. We have been told that we should be submitted to PGN next week (the first week of July). PGN, on average, takes 8 weeks to approve of an adoption. If there are any problems with the paperwork, then it will take much, much longer.

For those of you who are asking the obvious question, when are we bringing him home, we are hoping and praying for October. If there are problems with the paperwork, it could realistically be Christmas or even later until we bring him home.

Although we're thrilled to be one step closer to having Caleb with us forever, we're very frustrated on how long this process is taking. Family Court, on average, lasts 6-8 weeks. It took 3 months for us. GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

There probably will not be any more updates for a couple of weeks. We're just waiting, waiting, waiting!!!
