Great News!

Our agency just returned from Uganda, where they got a lot of logistical things sorted out for all the families in the program.  We also got an update with the crucial information we were waiting for... is this baby girl actually eligible for adoption?  YES!  And she will be joining our family!  She will be our daughter!!

Also, the lawyer they are working with said that she hopes to have everything filed in January and we could travel to pick up our little Sweet Pea as early as March!!!  Wow!  That shocked me, because I was starting to believe it was going to take a lot longer.  Now, I can hardly contain my excitement as I ponder what awaits us possibly just 4 months down the road. 

Where our little one awaits

Much paperwork has to be accomplished in the meantime, but it is looking optimistic!  Please keep praying for this process...

-Pray that the lawyer will get everything signed within the next few weeks.
-Pray that our USCIS (US Citizen and Immigration) approval is expeditied by God and arrives quickly.
-Pray that all the paperwork will be able to get filed in January.
-Pray that we get a quick court date assigned to us, and that both of us will be able to travel for it.
-Pray for our baby girl and her care until we can get there
-Pray for our baby's young birthmother who needs the Lord
-Pray for our hearts to be patient as we wait for all these things to happen!

Also, please pray that we will receive updated photos soon!  They were unable to get any photos when they were there, but have a request in for the children's home director to send some.  Finally, rejoice in the Lord with me that God is working to give this little girl a permanent home, a home with us!
