Just received word from our agency today that our kickout from OPA (Oficina para Adopciones) was a formality about “how some papers were presented,” but that “the prevention has been taken care of.” 

MORE to the point – for us – having been kicked out and resubmitted does not boot us to the back of the line.  We’re still in the queue, based on our original submission date.  (We read that:  “The last 10 months have not been completely wasted,” and we’re happy about that!)

Welcome to Salvadoran adoption.  Months of no news, a bit of excitement, and then back to the waiting.  This time, though, our agency has simultaneously given me a better understanding of how the process is looking, now that the new Child’s Law went into effect in April.  So I’ll post that soon!

I was feeling a little bad that I hadn’t had time to post for the past several days, but actually, this IS what it’s like… the waiting.  And so now my blog reflects it, too.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts and support this past couple of weeks!  You do make it easier on us, knowing we have friends and prayer behind us.
