10/10/2006 Adoption Update e-mail

Hola Family and Friends,

This morning we went to the American Embassy and submitted the forms for
immigration. The good news is that everything was in order, and nothing
was missing except for a few copies of passports which they made for
us. They assured us that adoptions are processed first, and they would
do ours as quickly as possible. However, they didn't give us any time
line at all. So, this afternoon we canceled Andrea's ticket for
tomorrow. Delta gave us a voucher number to use when we actually know
the date we can leave. So, unfortunately, Andrea and the girls are in
limbo. The boys and I will leave tomorrow night for St. Louis (actually
Thursday at 12:20 am) as scheduled to avoid paying penalties on our
tickets. I hope to hear something from the embassy tomorrow before I
leave. Once they finish their investigation, Andrea should be able to
get VISA's for the girls on the same day. Once they get VISA's they can
leave.

That's all the news I have. Depending on what I hear tomorrow, the boys
and I may stay in St. Louis if Andrea and the girls will be coming right
behind us this week. Otherwise, I'll have to go home, and come back to
St. Louis for the ladies next week.

Chau,

Tim
