Hurricane Ike slowed us down 2-3 weeks. The storm itself was pretty wild- non stop heavy, heavy wind and rain from 11:45 PM until 10:00 AM! We came out o.k. but about 1 in every 5 houses in our neighborhood had roof damage. There just was not any power, gas, food, or working stop lights for the next week around here- glad we had a generator, lots of extra food, and gas.
Our social worker next day 'Fed Exed' our home study to the Houston INS the day before the storm. The next day delivery did not get there until two and one half weeks later- Fed Ex kept it safe in Tennessee until Houston INS could receive it. So that delayed us by 3 weeks...
We will send our documents to our adoption agency for translation and on to Russia as soon as we receive confirmation from the Houston INS which we anticipate will be around the first of November. We also received word a couple of weeks ago that one of our fees had just increased $3,000 so we sat down and evaluated all of our expenses and decided that it would be best to adopt 1 instead of 2 children. Our paperwork will be such that if God has other plans for us we can easily change back to adopting 2. But right now we are deciding if we are adopting Marty or Makai! :)
