Jason in Uganda

     Jason left for Uganda this past Monday (Aug. 10^th) to get the adoption process moving.  We texted back and forth the first part of the week, and I finally got to talk to him today.  Even though we still have to submit our I-600A approval notice from U.S. Immigration, he is meeting with the attorney there and getting some of the steps knocked out.  He is working on getting Shakirah’s birth certificate, passport, medical exam, and VISA application submitted.  He has been getting to spend a lot of time with Shakirah, but the WiFi is not working for him to post any pictures on Facebook or text me any!  L  He was telling Shakirah about her room and how she and Maylee would have bunk beds.  She got very excited and said “Oh!  Do you sleep on beds??!!”  Oh how we take things for granted here!

      Another exciting thing that Jason told me to share on the blog…a Texas driver’s license is valid in Uganda!  He has been getting to drive…not sure if that is “exciting”, or “SCARY” after the stories I’ve heard and videos I have seen!  LOL! 

     We still are not sure on a timeline…it will all depend on how soon we get our approval from immigration and can get the paperwork filed in the Ugandan court.  But I do know we are a whole lot closer than before Jason went over there; thank you Lord and thank you everyone for praying for this trip! 
    And he verified her birthdate...it is 11/4/2004...one day before mine!  How cool is that??  I kept saying she is 9...I was wrong...she is 10!
