Free To Leave

Thursday, December 18, 2003 (AdoptionNews) -

Today we received the girls' birth certificates, as well as the approval to take them from Sierra Leone. Now that leaves us with submitting their information to INS to allow them to enter the United States. We're not sure exactly what the paperwork meant when it says the girls have permission to leave with us. We know it doesn't mean we can go get them right this second! Everything needs to be cleared with the local INS and Embassy in Senegal. We still have some waiting to do at any rate! Sennah and Mayeteh turned 3 last Sunday (December 21). We were disappointed we could not be with them on that day, but every day is a day they are closer to being home!
