Meeting Update

It was my intention to update everyone on our last agency meeting sometime ago now....
And because I only have a minute, this will be short and sweet.

The meeting with our social worker (2 weeks ago) went well. We once
again feel like we have even more of an understanding of whats ahead.
We received an ok to apply for our I-600A (Immigration papers and Homeland security clearance to bring home a child(ren)).
We're also wading through our dossier packet (official papers to travel to Ethiopia, ahead of us)
It helps to have tangible things to do on our part. And I'm sure once these steps are completed, the waiting for a referal can become agonizing :(
Many steps now require additional fee's - some small, some not so small.
The I-600A cost $700+ $80 for each of us requiring fingerprints. (Just 2 of us, Thank God!)

We completed our joint interview, now we'll go back for our individual's.

There are days we really get excited for the journey ahead... we picture the little ones waiting for us, imagine them home with us, and this cant happen fast enough.
Other days have us feeling overwhelmed by all the details...left wondering HOW on earth???Don't get me wrong, we don't doubt God can do anything, we just occassionally find ourselves feeling inadequate in so many ways, for the journey.
We are praying for God to continue to fill us with His confidence & direction to stay strong...And for more days of clarity than doubt.
We thank you for your prayers.
We'll be back with updates
