One more of the many hoops to go through between here and getting K home happened successfully yesterday. Our in-country lawyer met with the US embassy to go over our paperwork to make sure that we meet all of the criteria for Article 5 of the Hague Convention legalities. And it all looks good! We've been waiting for two weeks since the last milestone for this appointment to come, so it is good to have that out of the way.
Next step is to actually get the signature on our Article 5 letter, then that needs to be translated so it can be submitted to the Minister of Justice. I guess it usually takes about a month for things to process through the MOJ, and we need two different signatures through that, but then after THAT, (I think) is when we get our court date.
Still plenty of variables, and probably more than half of the steps still remaining before we can bring him home, but that is one more behind us instead of in front of us. We know he's coming home at the right time - it will be interesting to see when that is!!
And in the meantime, we all wait. We wait here, and he waits there. Really looking forward to when the waiting is over and he gets to be with his family for the rest of his life. ;)
