Life's a Journey.... here's a glimpse of ours.

For the past week we have had a lot of information come in and go out about our adoption. It doesn't look like we will be travelling in the next month, could even be the end if May or middle of June. It is entirely out of our hands. Our POA (power of attorney in country) has requested that we have all  court documents ready 7-10 days before we make our first trip. This is not a normal procedure we were suppose to make our first trip April 21 and then come back and finish up some paper work and send it over, not the case for us. They are going to try something NEW!!! This will save time and money and expedite the court process if we do this. Sounds great right? Problem being we don't have all those documents and the two most important can take 12 weeks to get. UGH!!!  Also my HS (homestudy) agency is working at their own pace......pretty much because she doesn't feel like it doing what she has to do. And no there is no one that can help  me with that she owns the agency. She can do what ever she feels.
 So here we are all applications sent out. We are waiting for a fingerprint appointment to get INS clearance and we are waiting for FBI clearance. Good news is that FBI states that it could take 12 week but they have been getting them done in 4. Also I just read somewhere that INS just finished someones process in 22 days." Please Lord complete these two clearances in the next four weeks."
That's our update. OH and don't forget we are trying to raise Matthews grant to 10k. We have gotten permission to go see him and we will get his full information. Hoping and praying that God continues to lead us with the direction we should take with Matthew. Are his mommy and daddy still out there. I am praying to will step forward. I am praying a large grant will encourage you to step forward and get him. If not I know Gods plans are perfect with our flaws.
IF you would like to help raise Matthews grant to give him a chance to have a family you can click on his photo on the right hand side. All donations are tax deductible and they go to his personal grant not ours. Help me find his family, help us get him where he belongs. A $5 donation adds up when everyone chips in.
