more waiting

Word from our case worker with Adoption Ark is that our dossier has been received by the agency and we will now need to wait another "few months" before it can be sent due to the backlog of dossiers at the agency. I know that the nature of international adoption is uncertain (at best) and I don't blame anyone for the slown down but I just feel that for us the stumbling blocks are numerous and more boulder like rather than block like. What gets me the most is that there is a child in need waiting and unknowing of a family who so much desires a homecoming. Please keep us in your prayers as we struggle with patience knowing that the timing is not our will -but Gods.

BIG Job done- so far!

We finally got our dossier off to Maeven on Friday July 11, 2008 (will post a picture later) after 2 trips to Lansing and a lot of sweat, tears, and ever so patient waiting on the government and the FBI. Now we wait(some more). We will probably have to update a few things but hopefully our dossier will be sent off to the Embassy soon. There is a backlog of dossiers to send but we are keeping our fingers and toes crossed that ours will go soon. Our little darling is waiting!! - and so are we.
