The court part was finalized on Dec 29! Dominic is officially ours. One huge problem....the Ontario ministry has not issued their "no objection letter" stating that his case falls all within the guidelines and we can proceed with the adoption....that should of happened first. All of this occurred during the holidays which created a bit of a mix up to the whole process.
Last friday (before my 2 night shifts) I found out that Fidele is leaving Jan 10th and wants me in Rwanda before he leaves to take over the process. Talk about a little kaos! We prayed & started down the list of things we needed done before I left. Firstly, I managed to get a flight reserved. Not just any flight . Most flights usually consist of 38-50 even 60 hrs which I was concerned about on the way back with a little toddler (especially since my mom backed out of going with me last week). I ended up reserving a flight with 1 stop & a total of 18.5 hrs each way! One miracle down, several to go. However, I need to confirm or pay for that flight by 3:00 pm today. In order to do that I need to know if I can obtain the immigration visa for Dominic within the 2 weeks that I am there. Which brings me to the other miracle I need by today.
I called the MP last friday to ask about helping expedite the immigration process to have this visa in time before I left or else I'm stuck in Rwanda with my husband caring for our 3 young children by himself for I don't know how long. Harold Albrecht's assistance said she would get back to me today or tomorrow. I need to confirm my flight today!
I also need Fidele to proceed to pick up the travel document to then process the passport (which takes 2 days). Most times the minister in Rwanda will only issue the travel document to the adoptive parents. Another miracle needed is that they will give it to Fidele. Without the travel document you can't process a passport and if that is not ready it will take me almost a week before I can send the immigration application to Nairobi.
Is this all going to come together??? Only the Lord can do this!!! I'm trying not to be anxious about everything but today (monday) is VERY hard not to be.
When this is all confirmed, I need to notify my employer that I'm off and I can't work FRIDAY! which they will need a replacement for.
