Visas...CHECK!!

Our visas arrived yesterday...Yay!!

It was nerve wracking because we had to mail our passports to the Ghana Embassy so they could put the visa stamp in it...we overnighted everything on Friday, so it arrived Monday at 2:30 at the Ghana Embassy in Washington, DC.

The Ghana Embassy is MUCH more efficient then the US Embassy. They received our application, processed, approved it and mailed it back to us..all after 2:30PM on Monday...so it was on our doorstep Tuesday! WOW! I WISH the US Embassy would work so quickly on Zoey's visa to come here...crazy...the US is supposed to be so much more advanced, however, this third world country blows their socks off at Visa applications..interesting...very interesting!!

So all that is left now is to pack our bags and go.

My mom is arriving on Friday to stay with the pups while we are gone...sure am going to miss those guys.

Count down...3 more days!!

Ghoing, Ghoing, Ghone to Ghana!!!!!!!!

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We will be leaving May 2nd to head to the West Coast of Africa and meet our daughter!

On April 8th a judge in Ghana officially declared Michael Scott and Kasie Horrell Mahan the legal parents of a beautiful little girl who from here forward shall be called Zoey Elizabeth Mahan.


This trip will be the first of two. We will only be gone a few days...returning on May 6th. However, we will get to visit Zoey and I will get to spend my birthday with her!!
