Homestudy Approved!

Last week our homestudy report was completed and went through the final review stages. Our adoption agency e-mailed on Thursday to let us know our homestudy is now being finalized and we should have a copy in the next week. This is great news, now we can begin our immigration phase. I have completed our application to immigration and will be mailing it this week. The next step will be to be fingerprinted in Dallas. Due to China being a Hague country, our immigration steps will be completely different with this adoption. We now will receive a pre-approval from immigration to bring a child into the U.S. whereas with Shayle, we received our final approval to bring her home. Once we receive our RA, referral acceptance, from China we will then have a large amount of paperwork to fill out to obtain final approval to bring home a specific child. This is a major change since our first adoption. Please be in prayer for us as we begin waiting for all of these approvals to fall into place.

We are expecting to see a shared list come out this week! We are excited, since we are open to adopting a boy, the wait time for referral is very short. We may be getting called with a referral off of this list. We are asking for prayer as we will have to make a quick decision. Ultimately, we want God's will to be carried out.
