It's on its way!

Finally all of our paperwork is on its way to our girls' birth country!  Most has been there for two months waiting for our USCIS approval and that finally came last Friday.  Hooray!

This is what I kept looking at for days, braving the freezing cold to check and see if the approval was here.



And it didn't come...and didn't come...and didn't come.


Finally on Friday our "golden ticket" arrived!  And Monday it was apostilled and shipped off to our agency who will forward it to the in-country facilitator.  Praise God!

Did you know that watching for your mail carrier doesn't make her come any faster?


SO very thankful to finally have our dossier complete and on its way to being presented!

Praying for quick turnaround in country---we're so excited to finally be close to the point of the girls knowing that they have a family!

And keeping busy with lots of this......





and this......




and time in front of this.......



and getting the girls' room ready.....




Please join us in praying for no snags in our paperwork getting where it needs to be and quick turnaround.  Ellie is praying that the girls will know they have a family by her birthday, February 18th. We all hope so!

  1. WOHOOOO!!!! SOOO excited for you! Congrats! :-)

    So, what are you looking at for a "tentative" travel time frame? Yes, I fully understand what international adoption timelines are like, but just curious what the "average" turn around time is. I know you told me, but my brain...

    Love the things for the girls' room. Beautiful!!

    So very happy for you! (I do hope Ellie's prayers are answered. She shares a birthday with my brother!) See you soon!
