Looks like Jan-Feb to NAC
Nothing is for sure....yet. Have been following the posts from other families awaiting word on their travel dates and it seems the NAC has sent letters out most recently (we're waiting) to many of us who have been 'registered' around the same time; stating that our travel times will most likely point to Jan-Feb. Hopefully, we will get our letter this week as another couple who registered days before us recieved their letter on Oct. 22nd. Then, of course, NAC, often does things in spurts (not to different than our government on paperwork) and one might get a letter saying to be ready in 10 days. Whatever happens, we go! It does look like we will be able to spend time with our family during the holidays this year and are looking at airline travel back to Minnesota but with flights out of Anchorage being full already might have to go before Christmas or a little after but don't want to 'push' the January timeframe too much ....just in case we are headed to Ukraine around that time. Whoopee!
Fantastic, fantastic is the only word we can say for the beautiful, handmade quilt our friend June gave us for our fundraiser toward the adoption. June and Wayne have been very supportive and hopefully I can get Greg (with all his high-tech computer knowledge) to scan a picture of it and put it on this blog.
As most of you know, Greg and I are looking at 'older children' adoption. We are approved for the age range of 5 years old and up and would like to have siblings. We are flexible on gender and at this moment would say the ideal age combination might be an 8 & 10 yr old or somewhere in that range. HOWEVER, we have found that many people come back with different ages than they were expecting. One just has to follow their heart and be flexible. We will not break up a sibling group but two would be nice although we are approved for up to three. I'm calling Greg - PaPa sometimes so he can get used to hearing his 'other' name. He just beams with his funny little smile and gets a kick out of it. He is acting like an 'expectant' parent too so all of this is good. We're both so excited about each day we have to look forward too this month, next month and all the ensuing time with our children ahead. Keep in touch with us...ya all...out there and Happy Halloween. Arlene & Greg
