Still waiting...

Yesterday when we were at the orphanage, the person from our agency here in Bogota told us that our bonding/integration meeting has bee scheduled for NEXT Tuesday! A week from now, meaning the judge won't even get our paperwork until after that meeting! We are so frustrated. The social worker at the orphanage said she would see if she could get the meeting moved to tomorrow, which would help us a ton! Donnie wanted to be able to spend at least a few days with his brother before heading home, but if our meeting isn't until Tuesday, that might not happen. It's a shame to be only a one hour flight away from him and not be able to see him, if that's the case! I will still be able to, because who knows how long Raelen & I will be here! Things are just so up in the air, it would be nice to have a date of when we will be ablt o go home, at least that way I could look ahead to it & know the end is near. Don't get me wrong, Bogota is fine, but it's not home. I am already looking forward to sleeping in my own bed and even being able to wash dishes/bottles in my sink!

So, we are supposed to wait to hear from someone about the meeting, whether they will squeeze us in today or tomorrow. It's only a 15-30 minute meeting, so keep your fingers crossed! It could be the difference of coming home 5 days sooner in the end.

Raelen ended up not getting her shots yesterday, because they said we could get them in Medellin when we are with Jerry, which I figured would make more sense. She is growing a ton already, in fact, when we were at the orphanage yesterday, one of the ladies on the adoption committee (who assigned her to us) said, "she's eating well!"

I'll keep you posted!
