Critical Week

The question we get most often now is, when will we be traveling?  Well this week could provide that answer.  We received pre approval from immigration via a letter on Saturday.  That letter was also sent to the national visa center where we are issued a "number."  We need that number to complete the 2nd to last piece of paperwork before we get travel approval.  If we get issued our number tomorrow we have a chance to get the final 2 steps completed within the next 2 weeks and therefore could be issued travel approval for the final "gotcha day" in September.  If we do not get the number it is almost mathematically impossible to complete the final 2 steps and get travel approval before the big holiday at the end of September.  Of course we know God can do anything so I hesitate to even type the word impossible!    Either way we will know soon and should be able to definitively answer the most asked question!

On a side note we received updates on both boys from families who are currently in their province picking up their own newly adopted children.  One even sent a video as they told one of the boys that his mommy and daddy were coming to get him soon.  It was a very special moment and we are so blessed by the adoptive community we have met who have helped us keep in contact with our boys!

Here are the most recent photos taken by the families there this past week!

 

Also stay tuned because once we get this number and complete the step this week we will be announcing their new names!  Thank you again for your continued prayer and support!


Continuing to remind ourselves that God is in control and He is sovereign.

Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
Proverbs 19:21
