Can you believe that it is 2009? My mommy and Daddy tell me that it is really cold and that I should stay inside!
The other day my mommy was talking to my Aunt Sara and she said that my mommy needed to get on the ball and let everyone know what was going on with me. I guess that is because she is so excited for me to come home. I’m excited too, but mommy and daddy said that the whole adoption process will take till fall of 2010! Man that is a long time. But that is ok. Mommy and daddy said that they will need that long to get ready for me and to raise enough money to pay for everything. I guess I’m expensive.
Speaking of being expensive, my mommy and daddy said that they are doing some things called fundraisers. I guess they are selling hot/cold packs for only $5 a piece. This money will help to bring me home. My mommy said that I need to say thank you to my cousin Ashley because she has helped to make 66 of these. Wow Ashley, thanks for all your help! I have this other great idea. Mommy is not so sure it will work, but if you would help, I think it could be a great success. If you would be willing to put a jar on your counter and save your change or even just your pennies and then give them to my mommy or daddy once a month I bet we could raise a lot to help bring me home! What do you think?
So enough about how expensive I am, I bet you want to know more about me.
Mommy and daddy said that they don’t really know a lot yet. They went to their first meeting with LSS on December 23, 2008. The first set paperwork is done and sent in and the first fees are paid. Now my mommy and daddy on are on to the second stage of the home study. We are told the home study will take 4-6 months. Mommy and daddy have applied with an international adoption agency, called International Adoption Net. This is most likely the agency my mommy and daddy will work with. Mommy has also spokeb with the adoption agency that KVI uses (the orphanage started by the pastors of our church) and they said they would also accept my mommy and daddy.
When I am ready to come home, both mommy and daddy will fly to Ethiopia to pick me up. Because legal process happens so fast in Ethiopia they will only stay in my home country for 7-10 days.
My mommy thought I should share with you that I am what they call a healthy baby. That means that I don’t have any special needs. Yes of course I’m special, but I won’t require surgeries, major medical treatment or have a terminal illness.
Guess what, mommy and daddy have chosen not to know if I am a boy or a girl! I will be a surprise! I love surprises, How ‘bout you?
Well, I’m rambling on and on. I can’t wait to meet you all!
Blessings,
Baby Wensink
