Bad news first....We experienced another first with Jay-R tonight...the poor little guy vomitted....at church....in line for our annual Thanksgiving dinner. He was tired and whiny but we figured it was because the last two nights, he had gone to bed later than usual. His stomach hurt but we figured it was because he was hungry. He wasn't warm or anything. Well, he knew what he was talking about...he wasn't feeling good! Fortunately, everyone was hungry and the vomitting issue didn't dampen anyone's appetite. They just walked around it. Poor little guy is now tucked in bed sleeping.
Good news...we have a court date in December!!!! When I heard the voicemail on my cellphone yesterday, it brought tears to my eyes. Yes, this part of waiting is easy compared to the waiting before we brought Jay-R home, but there's just something special about knowing it will all be final, complete. He's been an Allison since the beginning, but it will finally be official!!!

I'm so excited for you guys! Do you know, is this normally how long it takes to get finalized? We had expected 6 months, but it's been more like 8 or 9 for you, right?
That is fantastic news that everything will be finalized before Christmas. You must be thrilled! Poor little Jay-R. I hope that he is now feeling better.
Jennifer,
The way our social worker explained the process to us is exactly what we had experienced. Six months of post placement, then your agency sends the paperwork to the Philippines and you wait for the consent to adopt paperwork from ICAB. For us, that took 1 month. Then, we had to contact a lawyer and wait for a court date. So, usual wait time is 8-9 months for finalization.
Congratulations on the court date! What a wonderful Christmas present :0)
Hope Jay-R is feeling better soon...some first firsts are more fun than others!! Take care!!
