Our agency emailed Thursday stating our dossier is in Washington and "almost ready for submission to the embassy". "They"- whoever that is, is asking for some new photos to be emailed. More views of the childs room, the childs bathroom, the back of the house, and the childs play area...... Done and emailed on Friday. I am praying that the good Lord has it in His plan for everything to move along smoothly and that we will have children home before fall. I know it is not a perfect system (far from it) and that things can go terribly wrong. I am not going to worry or fret. I am not going to get excited or impatient. I know it will be in His time and that it will be the perfect time if it is meant to be for us.
Blessings, and have a wonderful week.
Kari
