We found a house and we're moving soon (Lord willing)!
We're through the hardest steps with Las Animas (inspection, appraisal, and last call for earnest money back) and now we are moving through those same steps with our new home in Castle Rock.
Our soon-to-be new house is incredible. It is so "us" we can't wait to start our life together in the new place. It's a close to downtown, non-subdivision, 50's home, one owner before us, impeccably maintained, beautiful yard, plenty of room for gardens and chickens, 1200 square foot unfinished basement, hardwood, tile, a 3 bedroom beauty with lots of room to expand! (Does that sound like the realtor.com listing? It isn't if you are wondering :)
Once we move and settle, we'll have our final home study meeting that I talked about before (in our home) and our study should be finalized by the end of June.
That means we could have our family together by next summer! To be honest, no one really knows anything about timelines when it comes to international adoption, so I am just speculating based on the information I have today....but it could happen!
A few nights ago we had dinner with some friends who adopted two kids from Ethiopia last year and now 6 or so months after being home, they are adopting again! This time from Ghana. We so enjoyed the fellowship and company and words of wisdom from ones who have walked this way before us. As a side note, their kids are amazing! It was great watching Andy hang out with Kayla; he is going to be an incredible dad!
Having dinner with them excited us even more for the journey we are on. We'll get through the move, the home study, and the rest of the "stuff" because it all means in the end, our family will be united!
Pray for us as we transition and finish the final steps of our home study!
