Our Journey

FINALLY!!!!

We have been away for a bit, and have not posted here for lack of news, but finally we can confirm that Peru WILL accept our application!

It has been many weeks, and we have benn calling our government on a regular basis, but a conversation and an e-mail yesterday confirmed that we can proceed. Peru are still suspending adoptions from the UK after us and may in the future only accept adoptions from people with Peruvian heritage!!

The picture our friends had was spot on!! They prayed and saw us getting through like Indiana Jones under a closing door- he might loose his hat but he makes it! And others who prayed with faith saw us being accepted at the right time. Maybe at the end of this we will better understand the timing, but we know God's timing is perfect.

Now we have to wait while our paperwork is checked by our government, and will need to collect together a few extra things specifically for Peru, such as a chest x-ray (!) We are officially in the 'paper chase' and will need to do a bit of phoning and writing to get everything ready. This could take about 6-8 weeks. Then our papers can be sent to Peru.

Thank you God for bringing us closer to you and our future this week x
