Updates on the Hosting Camp

We were not able to make the last meeting, however, we did receive an email on what the children will be doing at camp. They are to arrive in Philly late on the 13th. The following day they will take time to adjust to the 7 hour time difference and do some activities at the Quest Haven Lodge camp. The schedule looks like a lot of fun for the kids! Family is welcome to come participate in the camp activities as well. I think it is going to be an amazing experience for these kids who have been in the orphanage most of their lives!!! As it gets closer, I will post what they will be doing. I know they will be going to Delgrosso's park as they are so graciously feeding the children and allowing them to come to the water park and ride rides!! Another day they will get to go to Raystown. Other nights include campfires (which most of the children do not know what that is!!!) and movies. Fun times!!

As far as us and the adoption process, it's going a lot faster than we expected!! We have been in contact with a guy named David who works for the Advocate for Orphans International and he has been wonderful! He has everything broken down for us and has guided us each step. He has been available everytime we've had a question and will actually be visiting the Hosting Camp for a few days. It will be nice to put a face with the voice. This process is a little scary but he's made it a lot easier for us!

I mentioned before that we had to meet with a lady from Families United Network, Inc. who did our home study and that is moving along a lot quicker than we expected. We've heard the home study can take weeks and they had most of ours done in just over a week!!! We may just get Dema for Christmas!!! What a GREAT present!!!

Thanks for reading!
