Son tres niños. It's a boy -- times three

Noticias de última hora. Hemos recibido LA llamada que tanto esperabamos. El 25 de agosto nos enteramos que nos asignaron a tres niños (1.5, 3.5, 5.5 años). Estan preciosos y estamos ansiosos de conocerlos y tenerlos. Ellos viven en Cartagena, Colombia.

Por muchas razones, no pudimos aceptarlos oficialmente hasta ayer. Esta adopción es completemante diferente a las dos anteriores y ahora estamos haciendo todos los trámites que faltan para poder viajar a Colombia. Hay ciertas cosas que estan en nuestras manos y que podemos hacer rapidito. Hay otros trámites que dependen de entidades del gobierno (Estados Unidos y Colombia) y solo nos queda esperar. Nuestra esperanza es que podamos traerlos a casa para Navidad.

En cuanto sepamos la fecha en que los conoceremos, la avisaremos. Por ahorita, esta casa esta llena de emoción. Si Pablo me trae loca con su energía, imagínense como me van a traer cuatro!! Pobre Lulú!

Como siempre, MIL gracias por su apoyo y oraciones, que son siempre bienvenidas.

Yeap! Heard that right. We have wonderful news: we have three handsome boys (1.5, 3.5, and 5.5 old) waiting for us in Cartagena, Colombia. This house is full of excitement. We've known about them since August 25 but for many details that would bore people not familiar with international adoption, we couldn't accept them until yesterday. We really couldn't be happier.

I'm having issues with myself and how I will blog about this third adoption journey. This adoption is completely different than our first two. I feel very protective and don't even want to post their picture and their names. So, you may not 'see' them until we meet them in person.

Which brings me to the meet them in person part. We have absolutely no idea when we'll meet them. Our hopes and prayers are that we'll be able to bring them home by Christmas. But, like I said, everything is different this time. I'll share our travel date/meeting date once we know.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Oh my goodness!! Congratulations times three! :) You held that in a long time - but I totally understand and understand the protectiveness you're feeling as well. Though I would absolutely love to see their little faces and know their names, you definitely have to do what you feel best with as Mom.
I hope you are able to travel and be home before Christmas - keep us posted!!
