I can't believe it!!!
We are going to Pakistan to bring home Sweet Pea!
I recevied additional information last week on Sweet Pea and everything is now a definate green light to move forward with the adoption from Pakistan. Yes, it has all worked out (thank you God! And, thank you LH/GAS!). We are finally GOING, in 1.5 weeks. Yes - you heard it correct - we leave Saturday, 9/19, just 10 days from now.
The 2 dossiers are completed - Court & Embassy !
The Visas are issued !
The Airline Flights are booked !
We will be in Islamabad, Pakistan for around 4 weeks. Our return flight is 10/15. Since we are the pilot family for this program through my agency (Lighthouse Adoptions), we don't know exactly when we will be returning, but around 3-4 weeks should be enough time to get everything processed.
Now for the home front - getting everything ready to go! This is actually a little more overwhelming than all the dossier paper chasing. Nicky is sooo excited about his baby sister. Preparing my little guy for 3.5 weeks without Mama or Uppa D is challenging (more challenging for Mama than for Nicky! LOL!) Oh how I will miss him !!!
But . . . what a blessing we will have - our baby girl - Sweet Pea!
Yippee, Skippee!!!!!

That is fantastic. I am a new reader to your blog but I'm a LH family also. We brought home our daughter from Moscow last November. If we weren't having to move overseas we would have loved to adopt a child from Pakistan so I can't wait to read all about your experience!
Congrats again and I wish you safe and happy travels!
Wow, wow, wow!!! Is this the SAME Sweet Pea? I am sooooooo excited for you!
Congrats! Bringing home little girls, how sweet! God Bless your travels;)
Soooooo happy for you!
I am thrilled for you! I know this has been such a long wait for you and your son. What fun it will be to have a little (really little) one at home again! Many of us are rooting for you and will be following your blog! Can't wait until she's home safe and sound and we get to see pix!
Congratulations!!! Wow, I hope everything goes smoothly for you now. I so hope Nicky does great while you're gone.....I know this is such a huge for me when we return to Russia. I've warned Dylan's teacher that things may be chaotic.
Save travels and Positive thoughts for little Sweet Pea!
FRUA friend here. I thought I'd check back to see how things were moving and I am SOOOO excited for you!
Have a safe trip and keep blogging to keep us posted if possible.
I'll keep you and Nicky in our prayers, I'm sure the time will go by fast.

Nancy....I know you don't remember me...a fellow friend who has adopted from Russia twice now. It has been a long time since we have emailed, but I have kept track of your journey. I have experienced many emotions while reading your blog over the months and months. I can't tell you how happy I am that it has all worked out! Hoooory for you, Nicky and Sweet Pea. I can't wait to read the rest of the story! Good luck and safe travels!
