We got approval!!!!

This has been a GREAT day! This morning I was blessed with this amazing picture of my two sweeties!

 And then....I received an email from our Immigration Officer....

"Yes I did mail the approval letters a few weeks ago. Have you received the approvals yet? If you have not received the letters let me know and I will print them out again."

SO WE HAVE BEEN APPROVED!!!!!  Praise the Lord! 

I am "virtually" holding these two faces in my hands, pulling their faces close to mine, looking into their big brown eyes and saying, "We are coming for you!!"

Bummer that we didn't get the letters like we should have but thrilled that we have been approved. 

A few prayer requests:

1) That we will be issued a visa packet pick-up date quickly.

2) That the team in Ghana will be able to get the kids to their medicals easily and that the children will tolerate all their vaccinations and medical tests well.

3) That we will be given a visa interview date quickly and that they will both pass the interview. 

4) That we can get good travel arrangements (flight, lodging, care back home).

Typically, from this point it takes about 3-5 weeks until travel. Woo Hoo!!  

They are still yours God but THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting me be their mom!!!!!!!!! So grateful!

By the way, here are a few more photos we have taken in the past few weeks. My parents came for a great visit. Liz had Homecoming. Cael is loving baseball and guitar.
