'Act of Adoption' Complete

Well, things are moving right along!! We received a call on Tuesday, the 6th of April that our 'Act of Adoption' is complete. It sounded exciting and I said 'oh, that's great to hear. What does that mean exactly?" Well, the act of adoption is essentially all of the paper work for our daugther.... we had to send a dossier to Rwanda for them to approve us (roughly 50 documents that all had to be notarized, county sealed, and state certified!) and this act of adoption is basically our daughters dossier. The great thing is that now that this is done, our court date can be set.... which is when she will be declared legally ours in the eyes of the Rwandan courts... we can then arrange our travel plans and go bring our sweet baby home! Our agency is predicting that we will be traveling in early May. Woo Hoo!!! Now, I had better get packing!

Aubrey, that's great news. We enjoyed a great visit with the rest of the Bogear clan today. I'm so happy that you are doing this important work of taking care of the fatherless. I look forward to hearing more about your precious girl.
