Breaking the silence

So I purposely have not written a blog for quite some time. Being the optimist I am, I have been struggling with bad news and didn't want to spread it onto everyone else. As some of you know we postpone everything while the Ghanaian child trafficking unit investigated some things. This included interrogating Papa Ghana and our attorney for four hours. We were then told that we should not proceed with the adoption until birth certificates for both boys and the death certificate for their mother were in our possession.
Well, this turned into quite the process being that no one ever files anything in Africa. So with the help of the boys birth family we were able to file the death and births (paying twice the amount in late fees) and waiting, waiting, waiting for the registrar to process them.
GOOD NEWS...as of this morning we are in the possession of all three certificates and ready to go on to our next step...Court!
Thank you for all the prayers and well wishing. I am so grateful for all the friends and family that I have who support us and make this a little easier. I am so happy today! Its a good day!
