U.S. Approval

Yes! We received the approval to the I-600a form! This tells the U.S. our intent to adopt from the DRC and they have approved us to do so. It's exciting to have some type of movement when we are just waiting to hear something from the courts in the DRC. We still have at least a month until we hear something. It could be up to two months. Hopefully not!!
We are getting ready to send the boys their first care package.

We had a wonderful relaxing Christmas. We pray that each of you keep our boys in your prayers and that you have a Wonderful 2013!

We are here to answer any questions about adoption too!

Birthday Boy

What do you say, how are you supposed to feel and act when you know across the world the boy you hold in your heart is having a birthday...that he doesn't even know about. 

Happy Birthday A.  Your Mommy and Daddy can't wait to meet you and begin our journey with you. 

N's birthday is in June, oh how I wish so badly that we won't have to miss another. 

I'm a wee bit bummed because I was told our dossier would be sent out yesterday afternoon.  It wasn't.  Probably won't be until Friday.  I know it's all in God's hands, but everyday feels like a month when something doesn't move. 

I've got a lot of these disappointments coming my way, so I had better chin up and carry on. 

On a positive note, there are a bunch of people from our agency that will travel in January.  That means there will be space at just about the right time for the boys to move in to the transition home.  They try and keep the # around 30. 

Thank you for keeping our family in your prayers, please pray that we can rest in His plans and timing in the upcoming months.
