Little Glitch in our timeline...

Ok, Well the MOJ (Ministry of Justice) in the country we are adopting from has our dossier and while looking over it they decided they want more information from us about our foster kiddo's. Its not really a big deal and our sweet home study ssw was more than willing to write up a letter with some additional non identifying information. BUT, you knew there would be a BUT right? It has effected our time line. We found out the we needed the letter on a Thursday and Saturday it was done and I had a draft of it on the computer. Monday was a holiday so nothing much could be done. Tuesday the ssw mailed the letter to us and it arrived Wednesday. Thursday we ran to get it certified and then to the capitol to get apostille seal then straight to fedex to mail it out. Fedex estimates it should arrive by next week (NEXT WEEK!!!) and then once it arrives it has to be translated and authenticated again in the EE country which is another aprox. 4 days and THEN it can be filed and whatever day that is, the following Friday we MAY get a verbal referral and travel date. It was just a little one page letter... So all in all I think we lost 2 maybe 3 weeks from our time line. I am trying not to be bummed. I know this thing is all in Gods timing and so we still wait. I know everything will work out perfectly because God is working all things together for the good of (me) those who love him and are called according to HIS purpose. But I was hoping to travel in Feb. I am wanting to see the kids. I want to finally hug them and tell them that it won't be much longer and soon (This very Summer) they get to come home! Their first HOME. They will finally belong to a family. It may take them a while to grasp that but they will be with us forever.
