We had a great week away and came back to this e-mail:

Hola dear Catherine & Luke,

yes, you were declared suitable to adopt!!!, congratulations.

What you have to do now is to wait; you Catherine are pregnant, and you Luke have to spoil Catherine; you have to wait and wait, I do not know if nine months or more. Be very patient and pray, or pray and be very patient.

Congratulations again,
Oh my goodness!!

Was that quick?! That took exactly one month. We were expecting to wait a longer time to hear. This means they have decided we are suitable, and are now officially waiting!! Yes more waiting, but now for the Peruvian authorities to match us with a child. This is a big step and we are so grateful to God for guiding us this far.

Many have asked us what the wait time will be and we really don't know. All we have to go on is what other families have experienced, but as these are from other countries where many people adopt from Peru, we are not sure how things will work for the UK, as we only have three families adopting. Some it has been about 1 year, others nearly 3 years. Now we are this far, I will do some more research into this and let you know what I find!!

Thank you all who prayed. God is slowly revealing His plan for us, and we look forward with hope...
