We got word from Cheryl at AFAA today and here are some key points to her meeting in Lesotho last week:
*Lesotho does want to continue adoptions in the 4 chosen countries
*Approximate time of travel has been 2 weeks...this could potentially increase until paperwork gets completed at the Embassy
*There was talk of changing the minimum age of adoptive parents to 30 years old...thankfully it is Lesotho law that the minimum age is 25 years old
*Social Welfare staff will continue to strive for 4 match meetings a year...if not possible because of their schedules, they promised 3.
*The next match meeting is tomorrow! Due to some changes, Cheryl at AFAA will not know the results of this meeting for a month or more
The meeting appears to have gone well and I'm thankful for the information Cheryl was able to share with us and other adoptive families. Jason and I still are waiting to go through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to get fingerprinted. It was suggested that we wait to do this until our home study is approximately 4 to 5 months old. Next month will be 4 months. I've emailed Cheryl this evening to get more information on this...as this is all "Greek" to us! Thank you for the prayers!
