In The Mail and Waiting

We have worked so hard and so long on getting paperwork complete!

Last week we sent almost our entire collection of 

dossier documents

(twenty documents to be exact), 

to be state certified.  

It really felt like we put a chunk of our hearts in the mail.  

Our little girl's future was put in an envelope and sent off away from home.  

I just checked the tracking information and found out that all of the documents had been received by the California Department of State.

Once they are all certified, they will send them back to us and

then we send them to the Ch*nese Embassy here in CA to be authenticated.

Then they can be sent off to CH*NA and we get a Log In date!

Also off on the same day, was our application to immigrate our precious little one 

and give her US citizenship.  

So, another chunk of us was mailed to Homeland Security.  

They will hopefully approve our application quickly 

and give us appointments for ANOTHER set of fingerprinting 

for all four of us 

(Connor and Christopher need to be screened also because they are 

considered adults living in our home.).

That application was delivered also!  

More waiting.

More waiting.

More waiting.

And

more waiting.

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;

my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.

Psalm 130:5-6
