Dossier on it's Way

Well, Today was a huge day for us. Mom and I drove to Indy to get our two papers in the dossier authenticated at the state level. 5 1/2 hrs later we were back home. I dropped Mom off and went straight to the bank to get our agency fee check and the Embassy checks all done. Then off to UPS to overnight them all out. The Dossier should arrive in Washington today!!! It's been such a long time getting to this point. We are still having trouble with getting our I71 approval since the state claims they have never received a copy of our home study even though I personally overnighted 1 and the agency did as well. So a third times a charm.

When I go t home from I told Jim well no turning back now our money and paperwork is out of our hands. He looked at me so serious and said " You know I've been having second thoughts" I could've died. Leave it to him. He must have seen the defeat on my face and quickly said " I was just kidding, relax" Wow not a joke you want to hear at this point. Leave it to him to cause me to have a heart attack:)

He then said it's a huge step maybe we should celebrate. Not something I felt like doing but thought you know he's right. So we asked the kids where they wanted to go to eat. Sub way east fresh they said. That was a mistake. not a relaxing meal at all. My kids acted like they were raised outside the whole time. Jim looks over and says good idea just think 4 of these animals. Now who's having second thoughts:)

Enough ranting. I do have prayer requests.

1. That our paperwork is okay and gets to the proper places in a timely manner

2. that we get our I71 approval since we can't get a court date without it

3. that the region the kids are from will open up adoptions again.

4. That someone over there is showing my kids the mercy and love that they deserve and is sharing Jesus with them as wait for them.

Lord please keep these little ones safe and happy and loved until we can get them home. Prepare our hearts for hem and theirs for us. Amen
