Travel Meeting
We had our travel meeting with our adoption coordinator this afternoon and discussed pretty much everything from flying down there to flying back and everything in between. LOTS of details but it sounds like everything should go well.
We did chat a bit about the court system strike in Colombia but for the time being, we're not going to change our travel plans. Our adoption coordinator will be talking to her contacts in Colombia and we'll be making a decision about that later next week.
We also received some updated information on Elkin! Everything we knew about him previously was from February and what we have now is from July! So that was really neat to have some more information. We learned some more about his biological family, his weight and height, and some updates on his personality and how he's progressing.
The most exciting thing we saw was that he's now potty trained!!! :) :) Of course who knows to what degree so we're still planning on packing some diapers.
It was a really great meeting and now we're REALLY excited to go!!
(And since you all will ask, in July he was 34lbs and 2ft 11in)

I am so excited for you both. Have a wonderful trip and enjoy every minute you have with him. Time will fly and he will grow up right in front of you with out you even realizing it. I can't wait for updates and pics once you are there. You are in our prayers.
And he's SO stinking cute too!!!
can't wait to see more pictures
How exciting! Oh my gosh, I want to hug him.
Yeah...he's doing really well! The potty training is a great thing! So we are requesting to arrive in Bogota on October 8th and meet Katherine on October 9th.
When are you guys gonna be there?
The plan right now is to leave on 9/20 and meet Elkin on 9/22. However if the strike is still going on, we may change our travel plans to a later date.
Elkin looks like he will be alot of fun! He must have a wonderful laugh. Before you know it it will be time to board the plane and your dream will finally be coming true.
Whew!! I don't look at your blog for a couple of weeks and SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED!!! The days are ticking by and you are almost there!! Little Elkin is a lucky guy to have prospective parents who are so ready and willing for this adventure and obviously will jump through all the hoops to get their little boy picked up on the scheduled date!! God is Good!! Love ya, Aunt Marcia
