Immigration Phase

YAY! Home study was officially completed and notarized a couple of weeks ago! It has been sent to Immigration along with our I-800 immigration application. We are so relieved to have the ball rolling again. We should be contacted soon to go in for another series of fingerprints. We'll likely be held up in Immigration for a couple of months and then we can send our Dossier to China... can't wait for that day!!! So, in the meantime, we'll be busy with another massive task of completing our Dossier, which involves tons of paperwork and notarization. A trip to Sac. to have everything authenticated will also be on our to do list. Alongside this paperwork, we'll be busy applying for adoption grants. What a blessing that so many granting organization are out there to help families like ours, who have a heart to adopt and yet are overwhelmed by the daunting $30,000.00 to do so. We are so grateful to be about a third of the way there financially and we look forward to seeing God's hand in continued provision for the remaining $20,000.00ish we need to come up with. We would greatly appreciate your prayers as we apply for these grants and we look forward to seeing the Lord's perfect provision! Thank you for your interest in our journey to adopt Faith. Much love to you all!
