Fingerprints have been completed!!! On Tuesday, we visited the Department of Homeland Security to have our fingerprinting done in order to get an I-800 Approval. This will allow us to move on and have our Dossier translated into Chinese and sent to China. A dossier is a LARGE packet of paperwork that gives every bit of information about our family in order for the government in China to see who we are determine whether we are "up to par" to adopt one of their children. Our deadline is coming up and we need your prayers. There is a lot of money due and in a short amount of time. We know that God has called us to do this and know that He will provide. :-) We have exactly one year from this past Tuesday in order to be in China (fingerprints are only good for one year) SHEW!!
Now the story on John... We are still in waiting. His mom still has her rights and we are waiting for the court to terminate them. She has told the caseworker that she wants what is best for him and they have given her another court date for review of the case. This date is November 5th. If she would show up, she could take the time and sign papers to terminate her rights, but she has to show up. So we wait and we pray!!
Thank you for all of you who support the calling God has for us - Thank you for your prayers!! We love you all!
