woo hoo!!! i'm so excited for you! what a major relief. we must do some celebrating, that must include chocolate! love you!
Walgreens is good for passport photos. $8/sheet, I believe. You are amazing! Fastest dossier doer in the west. :)
We used walgreens. It is expensive for one little picture (about $8) but it is worth the money for your precious little girl :)
Praying for you as you "go green." I was going to recommend Walgreen's on the passport photos, too. Must be a word from the Lord!
I am so thankful to read that you have other families standing alongside you to help with the details of adopting from Haiti. And you know you have many more standing alongside you spiritually and cheering you on as you move toward bringing your precious girl HOME!
Mucho love from Florida!
I think Walgreens is $8 per set of pics, so you would have to pay $32to get 3 of you and 3 of Billy. Boo. So I took them ourselves and printed them on photo paper! I used some "real" passport pics we had as a template to make sure our heads were the right size, etc, and it totally worked! If you haven't done it yet, come over and I'll do it for you when you get back!
Moving along!!!! Praying for God's grace and direction for every step. His timing and ways are perfect.
Love and hugs and prayers,
Debi
Ps. Another amazing family that just brought home a beautiful son from Haiti, the Pattersons. I'm pretty sure they are in Texas also. Check out their blog: http://allarepreciousinhissight.blogspot.com/
It's so awesome to have that checklist almost completed! Woo Hoo!
You might already have your pictures done, but we didn't use actual passport pictures. We just took a snap shot in front of a nuetral background and then cut them out the correct size. Cheap and easy!!! :o) Our agency said that was all we needed. Hope that helps!
Try Costco for passport photos. I think they are $4.99.
Woo Hoo!!!! You are moving along!!!
