40 days of waiting

The greatest experience, the one which shakes a soul with hope and fear, the results of which are never ending and incidentally, the one which pays the biggest dividends, is to be found in the adoption of children.

This day marks the 40th day of waiting (the number 40, we are in good company with that number) to hear from the US Embassy for our approval. The wait can take up to 60 days but averages 45 days. Hopefully, this week we will hear conformation. Then we can WAIT AGAIN for our travel date. We are entering in the last leg of the marathon.
