Well, we got some more good news today. We received notice that Homeland Security has received our I600-a and it is now pending until they get our home study. Good Good Good. I also received our biometric fingerprint appointment today!! Another step in the right direction. We will go to Indy on February 10th for fingerprinting. Our last set of fingerprints. I am feeling pretty good right now. I can check two more things off the long list of steps that need to happen before we can go and get our daughter. I am all the more anxious with the tragedy in Haiti, although I heard on the news today the are getting kids out of the country and dealing with paperwork later. I am sooo happy for those families. The wait for a Haitian orphan is around 2 years. Can you imagine if you were so close to getting your child and then this happen??? How scary.
I also heard my new favorite song on the radio tonight. It fits perfect for the situation of adoption and how we feel about it, and why we are doing it. I will print some of the lyrics and hopefully I can figure out how to put the actual song on our blog. I may have to call in reinforcements....my teenage tech savvy daughter......
FOLLOW YOU ---BY LEELAND
You live among the least of these,
the weary and the weak
And it would be a tragedy for me to turn away
All my needs You have supplied
When I was dead You gave me life
How could I not give it away so freely?
And I'll follow You into the homes of the broken
I'll follow You into the world
I'll meet the needs for the poor and the needy God
I'll follow You into the world
That pretty much says it all.........
Hooray! :)
