We met with our social worker yesterday and it looks like we have to wait 2-3 months after our official match and for all the paperwork has gone through Colombia before we can travel. Since there is no travel in December she thinks it will be January, possibly November at the earliest. I'm praying for November because I would love to have him home with us this year! His birthday is February 6th, so if we travel in January he may be 3 years old by the time we bring him home (we will be in Colombia for atleast 3-4 weeks).
Our next step is to update all the paperwork needed. The fun part is I can start getting his room ready! Also, I am working on a book that he will be able to look at in Colombia that shows pictures of our family, since I do have a picture of him I have added that as well. I love seeing his picture next to Amelia and Dalton, he is going to be a perfect fit in our family. I am not able to put his picture on the internet, but I can send it in an e-mail to friends and family. We are so excited about Samuel! His name is Samuel David, so they said it is possible he goes by his middle name, but we won't know until we get there! We are hoping he goes by Samuel because it means "God has heard" and we have been praying for him since we started the process 2 1/2 years ago, just a few months before he was born:)
