We finally got the phone call!!!
Tuesday morning, Brian and I will be on a flight to Haiti to finalize our adoption in a Haitian courtroom. We are so excited!! Thank you for partnering with us in prayer for this day to happen!
Interestingly, our call came exactly 2 days before our file had been in IBESR for exactly a year. 363 days of learning patience…
We don’t expect to be bringing them home with us on this trip, but God could certainly surprise us with that blessing.
We would appreciate your prayers in the following areas:
- That we would be able to fit in all of the appointments we need to take care of between Tues and Fri. Two court appearances and then passports to be issued.
- That we would be able to get all documents translated back into English quickly so that we can deliver the entire dossier to the US Embassy on Monday morning or even earlier 😉 .
- Pray that once the dossier is in the hand of the Embassy that they will review everything quickly and approve our I-600 Petition to Classify Orphan as an Immediate Relative. We previously had a roadblock at the embassy and we need it to fall down. The boys cannot get visas to come to the USA if our I-600 is not approved. Please pray that God will remove all the barriers and to direct us to the right people in our government to facilitate that removal.
- Pray that our boys will be home on or before 8/8/12. It’s my birthday and that would be a very cool birthday present!
Again thanks to all of you who have supported our family in prayer throughout this process. We’re not there yet, but we are into the final sprint!!
