Waiting...and waiting...and...

Merry Christmas!!

Still waiting for the USCIS approval. I sent it 12/4, but I am reading that it takes as long as 6 weeks. I will take a trip to Harrisburg tomorrow to get the state seals needed for 2 last documents. Md and Va documents were authenticated a little over a week ago (thanks to Ron). Sigh...so close in the paper process, and yet FOREVER away from traveling to Jace. All I can tell you is that I will have him by the summer...

Please pray for me to have the focus I need to get through the paperwork. I am spending HOURS gathering and copying, mailing and faxing...let alone READING everything 100 times to make sure I get it. Thank God for the seasoned adoptive parents in my life that give me advice. I have 'met' some really sweet people on adoption blogs that have been more than helpful (and patient) with me.

Please also pray that Ron will make the right choices relating to this adoption travel. Whatever God would have him do is fine with me. Sorry for being so vague, but I believe God will understand those prayers perfectly.

Thanks to Lynn for her donation at Christmas! We needed that blessing!

Happy New Year!!
