Leaving today for our final trip!
We received Jameson's Visa yesterday afternoon! Basically the final document needed to complete our adoption. We are in the airport now waiting to board for Atlanta, then depart for Port-au-Prince. Tomorrow we will go to the US Embassy to pick up his Visa, then we have to wait for the final exit letter from IBESR. We originally planned to head back home on Monday or Tuesday, but IBESR states it takes approximately five business days from when the Visa is issued until the exit letter is printed. So, we will be in Haiti until Thursday. It's strange, because we know several families who received their exit letters in 1-2 days. But our agency was adamant we stay for five days just to be safe. We will spend a few nights at the orphanage, then go to the Marriott Hotel in PAP. We have dreamed of this day for the past four years, and it's feels unreal that it's actually happening!

US Embassy Approved!! Visa Appointment next week! He's coming home!!!
After 8 1/2 long, tortuous weeks we FINALLY received our Embassy approval this morning! I'm so excited I can hardly stay focused. Jameson's Visa appointment was originally scheduled for this Thursday, but we had to reschedule for next Wednesday the 14th, since my agency didn't think it was enough time for his medical to be completed. So, we are tentatively going to leave next Thursday for Haiti for our final trip!! Will update with another post later!!
