Approved!!!

For the second year in a row, we spent our Spring Break in Myrtle Beach, SC. We have come to really love the area and although it was a little cooler than we were hoping, spending a week right on the beach is never a bad thing!

 

 

 

 

When we returned, to our great delight, we found we had received our immigration approval! This document has allowed us to FINALLY be offically matched with our son. Even before we began the international adoption process we were shown pictures of this precious boy, but now we can offically show them to you.

 

 

 

 

 

Fabian is three, in fact not that much older than Tabetha. He currently lives in Ibarra, Ecuador in an orphange with other small children. As you might be able to see from the picture, he has no fingers on his left hand and two on his right hand. He was also born with cleft lip (which has been repaired) and cleft palate and also has a few missing toes. We've been told he's a very sweet boy and able to do much more than one would think. Obviously, we are very excited to meet him!

 

Our social worker has told us that our next step of paperwork should only take about 2 to 3 weeks and then we can start planning our travel dates. In the meantime we are praying, planning and packing. Oh, did I mention we are moving before we go to Ecuador as well?  LOL!!!

 

More on that soon!

 

 

Blessings,
