Hey everyone, still no travel date. We are still waiting for the 2nd DNA sample to be taken. As far as I know, that authorization hasn't come down the pipe yet. When it does, the wheels will start to roll again. Its beginning to look like we might be going down maybe towards the end of January, first week or so of February. It was relayed that it would be 4-7 weeks from the final approval, which for us was Dec 18th. Which leads me to the "other news".
Remember, I had mentioned that Isabella has a Foster Sister, Isabelle. Her mom is Lauren. And that Keith and I had met Lauren, had dinner, talked and just overall had a great time. Well, on Tuesday, I went to Lauren's for a Webcam chat. And guess with who? Yep, the entire Foster Family.... Ana, the Foster Mom, her husband and daughter and Isabella and Isabelle.
This was so exciting! We didn't have sound and the transmission was quite fuzzy. But, we were able to make out the picture well enough to see the babies. Lauren has been down for a visit trip and has spent time with Isabelle. But, this is the first, realtime, event for Isabella and me. Since we didn't have sound, Lauren kept the (Spanish) chat going. And did a wonderful job.
Isabella has a few curls and per Ana, she is small. At 7 mos, she can still wear 3-6 mos clothes. And is still getting up 3 times a night to be fed. Isabelle is sleeping thru the night, maybe she needs to have some infant chat with Isabella and give her the scoop. :) The girls were very active and after about 45 min, Ana, indicated that they would need to go as the girls were getting tired. Ana did say that she was going to work on getting us some new pictures this week. I surely hope so as I haven't had any new pictures in a couple of months.
Thanks again Lauren for searching out the "Smith" family. Its beginning to look more like we may be picking up Isabella when you are down visiting Isabelle in February.
