Esteban has told me that he shipped the documents with UPS last Saturday, and that the scheduled arrival time was today at 4:00pm. Well, it's 5:00pm now and still no word. The tracking number he gave me doesn't work, so it's hard not to get a little nervous. But I am trying to remain calm and stay positive. I've been working from home today in the event that the docs do arrive today...they are coming here and not to any UPS store. So I wait...
In other news, many of Will's friends are starting high school in Matagalpa tomorrow, and he e-mailed me today saying that he really wants to go too. He has been out of normal school for over a year, so I don't know if they will take him or not. I'm actually surprised, as Will hasn't had the best attitude when it comes to school. But it might be a good idea, as it will keep him busy and potentially prepare him for returning to formal education once he comes to Canada. It will also distract him from the thoughts of returning to his aunt's house in the Managua ghetto. I need to find out more info about what is involved in enrolling him, and whether it is worthwhile knowing that I will hopefully be pulling him out to bring him home really soon.
that's the update for now. I'm praying these docs arrive really soon!

hang on a little while longer. we're sooo close now. I pray that God will continue to give you the strength to run the race He's given you (OK, to wait on the project He's given you). He has been faithful and will remain so.
Love mom
Hi Corwin,
I don't know you, but my sister Hannah(she met you briefly at a Youth for Christ training) told me to check out your blog, she said you had an amazing story. I started reading from the beginning and couldn't stop. I have been crying in empathy along with you over the frustration AND elation you must have felt going through this process. I have been holding my breath for the past two hours, wondering the final outcome. I am humbled and amazed by the undeniable miracles that God has orchestrated. You are a true example of being a faithful servant, and you will be richly blessed. I know I started reading this at then end of your adoption journey, but I hope to be able to read about your new BEGINNING very soon! I want to thank you for your diligence in updating your blog, your words have truly inspired me to have a deeper faith in the "God who spoke light from his mouth". Keep remembering that since God has given you the beautiful gift of Wilbur, God will continue to give you the strength, peace, ability, and the resources to be the best father you can be. From one parent to another, God bless, and I cant wait to read about the "Blessed Homecoming!"
Corwin!
I too was referred here by Hannah (I'm a friend of hers); honestly I have sat here for over an hour "catching up" on the process, from the beginning. Your story is remarkable, your patience is epic :) I got to brief myself in a short time; you have been on this journey since 2007.
Maybe you haven't felt it all the way along, but you are a very strong individual with incredible faith. What an encouragement to read your story and to consider how I, too, can be as active in my faith as you have. There are few who would go to the lengths that you have to do what God has asked of them - and your example is changing many.
There are millions of children the world over (in every 'circumstance') who dream of having someone who will love them and fight for them as you have for your son, Wil. You have shown incredible things to him already; lessons that a father should teach: strength, endurance, faithfulness, integrity, hope, an unwavering trust in God, and love abounding. You are a good example for Wil!
I, too, am holding my breath and will continue to do so until I read those sweet sweet words "he's home!"
Praying for you & your family,
ashley
Hi Corwin,
I hope that you are doing OK. Its April 20th today and still no update on your blog. I have been checking it everyday. I pray that the documents arrived safe and sound and that Will is with you now.
Blessings,
Leah
