We did receive our US adoption approval notice (i800A) this past week. After waiting 6 months for Illinois approvals and just under 3 months for this U.S. approval, we are finally ready to submit our documents to China. Although we are excited to have one more step completed, there is great uncertainty regarding the timing in this next step. As Mike put it, it feels kind of like we're sending our papers into a black hole.
We rely on the truth that God knows the timing of when we get to welcome this sweet face home.
Mathew 7:7-8 has been running through my mind all week...Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
With that in mind, please pray that Will's papers sail smoothly through the right channels. And please pray we receive China's acceptance to adopt will in rocket ship-like time.
Hi, I found your blog from Stephanie's Sunday Snapshot over at Ni Hao Ya'll. As I was looking at your timeline for Will ('cause we just sent in our I-800a and you know I gotta check on how the days are looking!), I noticed he's from Baotou. So is the son we're waiting on!!! Caleb turned 4 in Jan. Maybe we'll cross paths in China.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Gwen and we are also a New Day family! We've been home with our little Sarah for 2 1/2 years now! We also have 4 boys!
Your Will is such a cutie! So exciting that you are DTC! Hopefully the rest of the process will be very speedy! :)
