We got word that there is a possibility that the orphanage Ooley is in may not be licensed. If that is the case, that could be great news for our process! No license could mean that they would have no true custody of Ooley. In that case, it would make the transfer less complicated by not having to have documents signed in the presence of a judge, which I'm sure isn't easy to come by. If this is confirmed to be the truth, we will be able to make one trade of papers and whatever is negotiated for them and leave with the documents and Ooley!
The creche (adoptable orphanage) we were wanting to place Ooley in for the adoption process is a go! Originally they weren't looking at being open til January. But get this: Daniel leaves December 6th and the creche confirmed they will be operational on December 5th! God is showing off big time and we are super thankful! They have agreed to take Ooley into their care and start his paperwork for the adoption process once he is moved in. All that is needed is a clear medical check for Ooley, which won't be an issue, and Ooley's documents. Once Ooley is in his new creche, we will be able to start the adoption process on our end her in the U.S. as well.
All the little details are coming together! We are believing to have Ooley home by next Christmas and by Thanksgiving would be a bonus! Please believe with us and we promise to keep you posted on all the little details that all make a huge difference!
If you are interested in helping with our funds for this process, deposits can be made into the "Amber & Daniel Johnson adoption fund" at any Communication Federal Credit Union location.
Every prayer counts, so thank you to each of you who are a part!
jen and I are praying for the trip and for everything that needs to fall in line. God Bless,
