How Long is the Wait? Part 4



To get caught up on what this is about check out part 1, part 2, and part 3.

Well, we have now been working on the adoption for a year.  We had hoped to be further along at this point, specifically we had hoped to have dossier approval.  The goatee continues to grow, at this point it is about 7-8 cm long.  People have started to comment that it is getting really long.  I try to use that as an opportunity to talk about why I am growing it.  It is still the plan to continue to grow it until we have a placement.  It could get pretty long.  I will likely start braiding it periodically which is fun because I always get a few more looks when it is braided.

FW: Adoption Application Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds

FW: Adoption Application Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds

This was the subject line an email we received last Thursday.  It got me very excited.  We were just about a month from when ICAB acknowledged receiving the answers to the last set of questions they had asked.  A month was the time we hoped to hear back from ICAB with a response about our dossier being accepted or not.

Unfortunately this was not the case.  Instead ICAB was asking just a few more questions.  There was a requested deadline of tomorrow February 7.  Getting the answers was pretty quick this time and they have now been sent back to ICAB.  We don't know if there is any reason behind them giving us a deadline but we are hopeful we will hear something soon.
