Hey Family and Friends. We've had a lot of people asking about when we will be able to go get Kenny...and unfortunately we still don't have an answer. We do know that his case is with the courts in Burundi and that his case is assigned to the slow judge. Which is a huge bummer. Our understanding was that there is a court date, a thirty day wait period, and then we will have the final adoption decree which we need to get our visas, and we can go as soon as we have those. We've had some relatively unclear communication that they are "waiting for the judge to sign decree" which makes me think maybe the court date has happened....but we're not sure about the 30 day wait period. We're hoping we are in that time period now, but really have no idea. Communication is inconsistent and vague...and from the other families we've talked to there hasn't really been any specific pattern of how these things happen....
The good news is there have been three families who we've spoken with who have traveled to get their kids in the last month. They've visited the school that Kenny is going to and said it is amazing. They teachers speak in English all of the time and are great with the kids. I am happy to know that while we wait for him to come home, he's at least in a good school environment!
There is a family that lives just a few miles from us that is also adopting a 5 year old boy who is in the same orphanage and class at school as Kenny. They are there picking him up NOW and were able to deliver a little care package to Kenny. We sent him a photo book with pictures of Brian and I and the kids along with a few videos, and some beyblades of course at Colton's request.
While we are very anxious to get him home, we continue to pray for his health and safety.
Hopefully we will be updating you all soon that we are getting ready to travel.
Thank you for all of your prayers, love, and support!
Peace,
Kristen
