What Now

So as I previously mentioned, right before winter hosting we were informed that 2.0 was also not available for international adoption. We were very very upset, but we were still determined that we would have a good hosting.

During hosting we found out that he will likely be available in 18 months or so. We are not comfortable waiting all that time and not moving forward with an adoption now....mainly for the reason that he could always go into foster care or be adopted within his country during the wait period. There are no guarantees that he (or any child) would still be available when we traveled for the adoption.

SO this is the plan-we are planning to move forward now with an adoption. We are submitting our paperwork to USCIS by the end of this month and finalizing what little we have left to do for our dossier.

BUT we are still hoping to rehost (at minimum) S each time it is possible.

At this point we aren't yet sure what place we will have in 2.0's life in the future. (Advocating, adopting, hosting?) There are some warning signs for some possible attachment issues, but it was hard to be sure in only 3 weeks. It is possible that at the point that 2.0 is legally free (and if no big issues have come forth in our lives) then we will return for him.

These are the plans at this point. We are continuing to pray and are hopeful that God will reveal whether our plans are his plans. Please keep us in your prayers!
