Passports!

We hadn't heard anything since we gave the ok to pursue, so I called AOH and found out that Mercy has her passport and Charlesetta's is in process. They are expecting a bunch of passports in the next week or two, and we are hoping that Charlesetta's will be in that group.
This was news to us because usually there has to be finalization in the Liberian courts so we are assuming that has been completed. Though sometimes in special needs cases the process can be done out of order.
The next step after getting their Liberian passports is for the birth families to be interviewed by the Embassy to verify Orphan status. As soon as that is done a visa appointment is set that I need to be there for and we will get their visa's to travel within a day or two of that. Then we fly home.
However, there has been another shake down at the Embassy and now they are only taking one interview appointment on Tues and one on Thurs per agency. So there will be a slowdown to say the least. It is unclear if the Consular will take special medical needs kids at non-appointment times. We will wait to see.

For now it looks like we will be traveling sometime within the next 6 weeks, but hopefully on the sooner end.
