I know that many, many of you are following Jonathan's unfolding miracle! I cannot even begin to tell you how much we appreciate your continued prayers as his family works hard to bring him home.
Over the last few days there have been many obstacles to overcome. At times his adoption has almost seemed impossible.
BUT GOD!
He who sits upon the throne has heard every prayer on behalf on this precious young man! He truly is mighty to save the orphan.
This is an update from the precious family trying so very hard to bring Jonathan home:
"The Embassy in his country has made Jonathan's case priority. They emailed back quickly! All we have to do....get this....all we have to do is submit our I600a before his birthday to USCIS. We don't even need to update our home study to submit it! I'm overnighting it today! That is for his visa. One thing down.
Now, we are working on making sure the orphanage doesn't release him. We should know more about that today! I'll update you as soon as I hear anything! Praise the Lord! His hand has been on this the whole time! Even when I couldn't see through the fog! It almost doesn't seem real. I'm so humbled and blessed that we serve a God who cares so much for us, so much for Jonathan!
The prayers of God's people! That is what led us in the right direction. Thank you!"
Praise God from whom all blessings flow. There are still a few hurdles to jump over, but things are definitely starting to look more positive. Please keep praying! Pray that they will be able to keep Jonathan in the orphanage until his family gets there. Pray for a heart of compassion for those who make decisions on his behalf in his country. Our God is ABLE.
For the Lord your God is living among you.
He is a mighty savior.
He will take delight in you with gladness.
With his love, he will calm all your fears.
He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.
Zeph 3:17

So very thankful to read a new update. Will/does Jonathan's family have a blog? I'd love to follow!
Blessings!

Yes they do have a blog! Unfortunately, my mom is finding his updates from a different blog. I'm sure because of the urgancy, and how sudden his adoption is that they will mostly want privacy.
I will tell you, or send you the link if we do find it.
