Let me start with the good news. Liz and Cael have had an awesome start to a new school year. My 6th grade girl and 4th grade boy have wonderful teachers and classmates. They are doing great!
Regarding the adoption...I was just kinda hoping that the next post would be some good news. Some real information. I got nothing for you. :-(
We are still waiting! It is a drag. We just got word that both of our kids were sick last week...vomiting, typhoid fever and bladder infections. UGH!
We got the papers we needed for the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) and we emailed and overnighted them on last Monday. Hopefully we will get an approval this time and hopefully it will come soon.
After we get the approval we will request a visa packet pickup for our kids. Our POA in Ghana will pick it up for them and then they will get a visa medical done. That takes about a week to complete. Following that we will request a visa interview appointment. Hopefully we will get a quick response. If they pass the interview (which always happens on Monday but doesn't always happen on the first try) then their visas will be printed (which always happens on a Friday). Hopefully, the visas will print the same week but that is not always guaranteed.
Until approval comes we wait....and pray....and cry....and wait...blah! It could be as early as 4 weeks from now or it could be longer.
In the meantime, here are a few sweet photos I found on facebook of our cuties.
Thanks for praying for us. We can tell that you are and that God cares so much. We trust His perfect timing and we know He loves and cares for Gabe and Debo more than we do. Until we are entrusted with their care we will trust their perfect Father to take care of them. After they are entrusted to our care we will trust their perfect Father to continue to take care of them.
