Erickson should get his passport tomorrow or the next day! We are still waiting on Lovekender's name to be given to Immigration. (Hopefully within a week.) I hung the Haitian flag on our house today. Feeling like it is so close!
Wonderful news! I'm so excited for you that there's FINALLY some progress...almost there! I can't remember, what happens after they get their passports? When I was at the Little Elks sale last weekend, I couldn't help picking up some things for the boys. Of course, I still owe you a very overdue birth story (which I still have yet to start), so we'll definitely have to get together sometime!
