Dossier has arrived at the new agency

I got word from our former agency that our dossier has arrived at the new agency. I am waiting for the refund check from our old agency to arrive today via UPS and I will overnight a check for our new agency fees. Hopefully our dossier will be headed overseas on Thursday or Friday.

Based on trends of families whose dossiers have been submitted, we could be traveling in 5-6 weeks. We still do now know about court dates happening on that trip, watching those families ahead of us will be very telling of how things are going to shake out.

We are beginning to think about childcare arrangements for our other kids. Please pray for that. We have many friends and family willing to help, we would like to pray that it will work out that the kids schedule and sleeping environment be as consistent as possible.

Also pray for the kids themselves! E has never been apart from both of us overnight and JP has a really hard time when we leave. E's adoption trip was very hard on JP and I am dreading leaving him again for that long. I know that they will all miss us terribly and it is so heartbreaking that leaving them for so long is part of this process.
