Paperwork Update

On Monday of last week we received our updated home study.  On Saturday we received the letter from our placement agency stating that the home study contains all components required by the Hague Convention.  Earlier today, we sent these documents overnight along with copies of all prior approvals to USCIS requesting an update on their approval to adopt and bring a child into the US from China.

Please pray that the USCIS Officer will review and re-approve as quickly as possible.   Pray for patience for us as well as it is so hard knowing that our baby girl is sitting there and we are sitting here waiting all because of paperwork.

The photo below gives you an idea of all the paperwork we have had to complete and keep updated since 2007.  Because we both have only lived in one state, have no children or other adults living with us, and have minimal records and documents that have to be checked and supplied; our paperwork is considered simple compaired to some of our fellow adoptive parents. 

No Hill for a Climber!  We appreciate all of your support.
