It's been a really long wait for this, but our home study
has finally been approved! We should have it in hand soon so that we can move
forward once again. In the adoption process, moving forward often means moving
on to the next wait, which will be for the I800-A approval from the USCIS. The I800-A determines our suitability to adopt a child from a convention country.
This wait usually takes about seven weeks.
Thanks to a couple in our church, from
whom we received a generous donation yesterday, we will be able to submit our
I800-A application and the $1,060 fee without delay. As I have said before, we
wouldn't have been able to complete Mia's adoption, and we wouldn't be able to
complete this adoption without the help of people like them. We believe that
one way God provides is through others in the church body. We are thankful for
His provisions!
