I am so excited to say that we have finished the paperwork that will eventually be sent to Burkina Faso. We already had some of the paperwork that we had collected for our Home Study, but about 70% of the paperwork had to be notarized. But it's all notarized and is on it's way to the agency, which will scan it to Burkina Faso to be translated into French. Then when the agency has both the French and English along with approval from the US Customs and Immigration that we are pre-approved to adopt, they will send that along to the Burkina government. From that time, they have told us it is usually 6-12 months until we travel to receive our child.
Which reminds me, we are still in the process of praying about a specific child. I can't tell you very much about him yet, but he is young and has Cerebral Palsy. He doesn't seem to have severe CP, but it's hard to tell. Please continue to pray with us that we would have a peace about this child if he is supposed to be a part of our family.
Now, a few facts about Burkina Faso.
**Burkina Faso used to be called Upper Volta until 1984.
**Burkina Faso means "the land of upright and courageous people."
**The capital city is Ouagadougou (pronounced Wagadugu).
**There are more than 60 languages used in Burkina Faso.
**The adult literacy rate is 29%(male) and 15%(female)
More facts to come at a later date. Thank you for your support and prayers as we journey forward.
