Our dossier (14 different documents, all state certified) along with our passport photos, family photos and other assorted paper work are finally out of our hands and on their way! We mailed a box containing everything and should hopefully reach our adoption agency on Monday, August 1st! We are so thankful to have this portion of our adoption process completed by the end of July. Praise God! Another praise is that we had EXACTLY what we needed to pay our dossier fees. (We actually had $8 left over!) Between savings, working summer school, a little baby-sitting, and my (Crystal's) mom craigslisting items from her garage we had just what we needed.
(We still need to fund our immigration process and our referral process, so if you need a babysitter let us know!)
Thank you for all of your prayers over these past 4 months. We have definitely felt it and know that it makes all the difference. Here is a list of ways that you can continue to be praying for us...
*School starts tomorrow (August 1st) which means we need to go back to juggling work and our adoption.
*August 1st also marks the date that we can start receiving referrals! This can take 0-18 months. We are praying that this waiting time is on the shorter end of this. Our prayer is to be completely done with the adoption process and home from China before the end of the school year.
*That our paper work will make it safely and timely to Washington state where our agency is, and that everything will be in order so we don't have to redo anything.
* We are still waiting for All God's Children International to approve our home study. Praying that happens soon so we can file for immigration!
*Continued financial provision (God has been so faithful to us these past 4 months, and we know He will continue to do so!!) :D
Mahalo for all of your support!
SO excited and thrilled for both of you ... And, of course, the precious child that God brings into your lives.... And thrilled for us too as we will be a part of his/her life! 💕
