Well ........Everyone keeps asking me what's going on? Are you too busy to post these days..... the answer is I WISH..... I haven't posted because, well there is nothing to post.

I think we are in the most silent part of the adoption so far.

We are waiting, yes again, but this time on our government. Our 1600 was filed in Ghana at the US Embassy. So we wait for them to do all their stuff. It is funny to me though.... time line at the embassy is 1 week to 6 months. What kind of time frame is that? So we wait. It's also funny that to get as far as we have so far - way back when....remember we had to do the pre-approval for the I600. Why do they make you do that if you still end up having to wait? They should just do the pre approval, pretty much have your file at the embassy with a fill in the blanks for the name, birthday, etc......and then off we go. That would make sense to me. But not our government. Let's make people get pre-approval during their adoption, and then when they think they are almost done, we'll make them wait. Sorry I seem to be venting. I didn't start out in a venting mood.

So where are we? READY!!!

Brody's room is totally done! I bought the curtains last weekend and a new lamp for his nightstand. We got a new backpack for his journey, and his suitcase is packed!!! I'm just waiting on a piece of paper to tell me I can go and pick him up!! i tell you - it's awful. Brody has been our son "legally" for 6 weeks now.....and we can't even pick him up!

I'm hoping that we'll have some sort of update in the next week or so..... I'm going to try and reach the embassy myself to see what's going on!

Brody is ready too ~ he's got a passport and everything......... just waiting for Mommy & Daddy to come bring him home.

Cheers ~

Julz, Scott & Brody
