AWAA Is My Super Hero

Well, Ryan & Nyanja from America World Adoption are swooping in to save the day (hopefully)! For those of you just thinking about adoption, please consider America World Adoption Agency (www.awaa.org). They are so wonderful and they are being so good to me! We were their pilot family for Rwanda and they are coming through in my pinch. Nyanja, their contact in Kigali, is trying to work with Ruk's orphanage to get him a court date so that when Andy heads to Rwanda in a couple of weeks, he can represent our family in court.

That means he will meet Ruk first and then I'll probably head back over there to pick him up. This isn't the timing I had hoped for, but at least it is working out. And it is good because Andy can be a big part of the adoption and meet our boy and then I can go get him like I dreamed of doing! (And prayerfully I can figure it out with Hays and Maggie's school that they can come, too!!!) Again, I am trying not to mentally make any plans just in case things take yet another turn (I do have Cabo for Christmas plane tickets purchased though). We'll see.

I know that Ruk will be here eventually, but like I was trying to explain to Andy yesterday. . .it is just hard for a mother's heart to know that her baby is in another country without her love. He is over there and there is nothing that I can do. . .except pray and that is just a tough one for a control freak to handle! :)
