Just to update everyone, we received our I-171H approval yesterday in the mail. This was pretty much the only thing we were waiting on to submit our Dossier. We received this only a week and 3 days from our fingerprinting appointment... much quicker than I expected! So there are a few things that need to be notarized and finished before submitting. We plan to submit tomorrow!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe we are finally to this point. I shared this on our FB page, and thought I would on here as well.
Stole this verse from Kari Jobe today...
Romans 15:13 May the God of hope
fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of
the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
I had a restless night
last night, couldnt stop thinking how much closer we are to our baby
boy. Once we submit our Dossier (tomorrow) we then will wait for our
referral of our child. We've been told this could be 24 months.
That's a hard number to wrap your mind around when waiting for your
child to be in your arms. I'm holding on to hope today... hope that
God's timing is perfect, and that he will get our child here all in the
perfect timing. Just crazy how much everything changes when you know the
only thing holding you back from your child is no longer paperwork, or
homestudies, or money.... but just time. ugh.
