Hague Training

We finished up our Hague Training tonight by watching the Attachment and Bonding series on Gladney's website. It was really great! We enjoyed seeing some of the things that we will be able to do to help our little one attach and bond easily.
We successfully made it through the first week of waiting and are excited about moving on to the next week. This week went quickly and I think I answered the infamous, "So when are you getting the referral" question about a million times!! I would love to think that it will be soon but only God knows! We have been in touch with so many Gladney families that are in different stages of this process and it has been so wonderful to see their stories. I am so thankful for Renee for always knowing the latest Gladney family to get a referral! It lifts my spirits up every single time I see a new referral and makes the waiting a little easier!

Paperwork update:
Our dossier will be in Belay's hands (our in country representative) by Tuesday, Aug 14th at 6pm!!!

We are also a Gladney family. We officially went on the wait list for an infant girl under 6 months on June 20th. We received our referral for a 4 1/2 month old girl on July 31st! Unfortunately, we won't travel until after the courts reopen. Feel free to email me.
