Our referral from Ayudame

We received a referral from Colombia on August 15, 2007 for a baby boy!!! He was born May 19 and we are naming him Joshua Danford Theis. Our travel plans are coming together quickly, and we plan to leave on September 9. We will meet Joshua on September 11 at Ayudame (the adoption home), and then the three of us will have 3 to 6 weeks together in Bogota. What fun it will be to get to know our son!! Joshua will stay with us the whole time. During our time in Bogota, we have many court appearances and paperwork appointments.

Yesterday we received our FBI clearance (yes, Chad passed again!) AND our Colombian visas. I also booked our plane tickets. It was a big day!
