September Update

We recently found out that Casa de Maria in Medellin has asked for our dossier. We've been told that this is a good sign because the casas do not typically take new dossiers unless they feel they can match the parents with a child within a "reasonable" amount of time (usually no more than a year). We are really happy that our dossier is in Medellin because the in-country stay is typically only 2-3 weeks compared to 4-6 weeks in some of the other regions. Although we are looking forward to spending some time exploring our future child's birth country, we also know that it will be hard on Joey (and the rest of us) to be away from home for so long.
