Friday was another long day to Cape Coast. By the way, it is about 21/2 to 3 hours to this city that has the court house so as you can imagine, between the two families we had 3 very tired kids who were REALLY off their schedule. We started out just as early. Our little […]

Today we left at 5:30 to go to Cape Coast for our adoption court appointment. We made great time, got there early, waited 3 hours and then found out that our judge was sick and could maybe see us tomorrow. Very disappointed but this happens sometimes. So, we will be going tomorrow and catching our […]

Hi all! Just a regular old day here. Spent a lot of it with our little girl at the hotel. Our first couple of friends flew home today and a new couple came. Very fun to have other adoptive parents around. We all will be going to court together to officially adopt our kids TOMORROW! […]

Today, as we anxiously await our passports and visas in the mail, we found out about this http://adoption.state.gov/country_information/country_specific_alerts_notices.php?alert_notice_type=alerts&alert_notice_file=ghana_1 We are planning on flying on Friday and hopefully things will be more clear then. Our agency is not sure about the warning of this alert. We do not know if we fit their description of “approved” […]

Today was an amazing day. Yesturday we were told that some of our papers were misfiled in Our daughters country and we had to start over with them. Nothing was said about our upcoming court date so we weren’t sure if we were buying tickets this week. I told God last night that I knew […]
