I AM SOO SORRY, FOR THE LACK OF POSTS!! I can not believe that my last blog was in April, time sure flys by!! So adoption news.. the last supper major thing was when past court and Isaiah legally became ours :-) Since that excitement we have had a few other big things happen, we received our I-600a approval. We filed that very, very late and had actually passed court already when we got that approval. We have had that approval for a few weeks now. Actually, to be 100% honest we have been ready to file for about 2 weeks now, but I have delayed. Our process has moved extremely fast, our turn around time on our process has been about 2-3 weeks for each thing. Which is the reason why I have delayed in sending in our I-600. I want our sweet boy home more than anyone in this world, and I couldn't bare the thought of us getting our I-600 approval and him being stuck because we still have to get funding. I know it doesn't matter how much I think I'm in control with "my delays" its all in Gods plan. He knew about "my" delays long before me. Its so incredible easy to give praise and be happy when things go our way, but when things are slow or uncomfortable we don't give him the same praise and WE SHOULD! Our God perfect and righteous in everything he does. Our pastor at church said something this Sunday that was a big motivation to me " He who brings good work to me will bring it to a completion" When we started this adoption process it was for selfish ungodly reasons. I wanted a son, I wanted Bri to have a brother, I wanted to give a child a loving home that he hasn't had before.I..I..I. God has had his hand on it from the start, I recognized it but I don't think I have ever given him full credit with all my heart. I have been doing all the hard work, I'm the reason everything is moving quickly and we have received the funding that we have....WRONG!!!! We are nearing the end of our process today in unbelievable timing, because it's Gods plan. I have known this all along but tonight with a different heart I believe it and I know this adoption will work out exactly how it supposed to.
I will be mailing our I-600 this week. While we are waiting for this approval we have started on Isaiah's passport. We are praying we can get through both of these with no issues or long waits. We are very blessed that our process is still moving. Many regions have stopped processing adoptions. Which means if families have not passed court and they are in a region who has stopped processing adoption they are stuck. There has been a lot of heart aches in Ghana adoption world and many families have been waiting long periods of time and many aren't getting the things they need to continue. Please pray for these families who are stuck and for our family too. We have a big fundraiser coming up we would love for you to pray for its success and for our process to finish up quickly. I pray Isaiah gets here before we have this baby :-) Again, all in Gods timing!
