Just a quick update to share that Dave spoke with Julie today; the document he has does satisfy Colombia's need to verify his birth in Colombia. We over-nighted it out to Oregon and Julie will then send it off to Lucia, Program Representative in Colombia. She should have it in the next couple days!!!!
The fun thing is that we have been connecting with the Adelman's who are also adopting from Colombia (check out their blog in the links to the right). It turns out that Mark and Debi received the same sort of email this past Friday. Julie shared that Dave and Debi's birth certificate will be sent together to Colombia tomorrow. Hopefully this will bring them a regional assigment very soon...and, of course, a referral, with us not too far behind!
It has been fun to have them just ahead of us in the process as it has helped us to gauge our own timeline in waiting. It has was wonderful to have Debi's encouragement and help this past weekend to discern whether the paperwork we had would satisfy Colombia or not. (Muchas gracias, Debi!!!) Now, outside of waiting for the final mile markers for both families, there is some added suspense on whether we will all end up in Colombia around the same time! =) It would be rather cool; we will just have to see!

So our birth certificates should be somewhere in the air right now....maybe flying over Central America? We should hit South America by tomorrow don't you think? Bogotá by Friday?
Thank you for your wonderful email! You are always so uplifting! :) I've read the email over many times and it always gives me peace in my heart....
