Well, Apparently...

My wait for Visa began on June 3rd. That puts us at 3 weeks 1 day waiting and not the 6 days that I thought I was at!

We had our Court date on May 16, and we had: our Adoption Court Order, the girls' Birth Certificate, and Passports, all by June 3rd. At this time, they were sent to Nairobi and that is when the official Visa wait began. I got this from 'higher up', so I know it is accurate. I have been told the wait for Visa could be 8-10 weeks.

Well, that leaves us at 5-7 weeks left now that 3 weeks have gone by. But, according to what I have seen in the past, it could also mean, 2-4 weeks! Who knows!

All I know it my room is getting worked on, I have my travel list to organize, my sister-in-law is helping me with travel arrangements (since she is a travel agent - yeah!), and I have begun packing the girls' clothes. Onward!

That is sooo exciting Justine. I think the 2-4 weeks is once your court paperwork and medical is in. You are getting sooooo close!!!
