In God's perfect timing...

With much excitement and thanksgiving I can say last week we got our long awaited FBI clearance!

We are now only waiting on one tiny (actually big) piece of paper before we can submit to the Ukraine and wait on a date to travel. We are waiting on U.S. immigrations approval to travel for an adoption. Some people get approval within a couple weeks, other people wait months for their approval. We submitted to immigrations last week, we are waiting on  them to issue us a fingerprinting appointment and then the clock will start ticking! (yes our 4th time for finger prints :)! )

Once we get immigrations approval we submit our dossier (fancy name for a bunch of paperwork) to the Ukraine and wait on them to give us a travel date. We were told last week from our facilitator that there is no waiting line for our age range so that is exciting. We are thinking we will travel the middle to end of November. So much to do before then in preperation for getting a new son and in preperation to travel. Pray our van sells, pray the final stages of this process run smoothly and quickly, pray for our children as we prepare their hears for us leaving and pray for our soon to be son,  Lord willing. Pray the Lord would really tenderize his heart and that he would be open to receiving us.

Outside of the adoption, yes...we might just have a life outside of this adoption :)  Anna and Naomi will start school here at the home next week. Anna will be in 2nd and Naomi in K5. Luke just celebrated his 4th birthday and Beth is doing great as well.

Thank you for your prayers, Blogger has been down for a week so I was so excited to finally be able to post.
