This summer has been a whirlwind to the say the least. We’ve
barely had a minute to catch our breath, and now it’s almost time for school to
start back. We have some adoption news and wanted to share that we are ONE step
closer! On Tuesday, we stood in line at the Homeland Security office in Atlanta
to have our Biometric Screening.
For those of you not familiar with adoption
lingo – biometric screening is just a fancy title for FINGERPRINTS.
We ought to
be professionals by now – this is our third set!!! Well, actually it’s my
fifth, since I had to have both my FBI and GBI prints redone. (No, I do not have a hidden criminal history!) The lady at
immigration said, “Man, your prints are thick.” Soooo, I’m not sure if I should
hold out hope for this set either!
The approval takes three to four weeks, and the next step is
to complete our Dossier! Now, that’s exciting, except for the fact that it
means another paperwork marathon!! We are definitely up for the challenge.
One step closer. One step closer to a referral. One step
closer to China. One step closer to holding our baby girl. We can hardly wait!
Please continue to pray for us as God gently reminds us that He is in control
and has ordered each step according to His perfect timetable.
The link below will give those outside the Douglasville area an opportunity to order "A Matter of Life and Death." The sale of these books will help three families offset the enormous expense of international adoption.
