Twins?

Hello all! We have an announcement! And we need prayer! Read on!!!!

James – born July 2009

Scott – born May 2009

Jimmy and Scooter.

What do you think? Make good twins?

“Scott” is in the same orphanage as “James.” Yes, they both have Down Syndrome. They are about the same age developmentally as well. We are having some immigration hangups and I don’t know how long that’s going to keep us away from our boys. Please, please pray with us. Pray that God’s will be done. Pray that God’s Spirit would move in us and keep us strong and faithful. Pray that He would miraculously overcome the obstacles and bring the boys home to us. Specifically, you can pray that our USCIS officer would correct the mistake on our I-800A approval (and quickly!) so that we don’t have to submit an addendum and another $360 to get it approved. Every day that we spend getting this approval is a day keeping us from our boys. But we know that God has certainly not forsaken us!

Remember how it took TWO MONTHS to get from a pile onto an officer’s desk the first time we worked with USCIS? I prayed that God would have a reason for that delay and that He would show it to us. We were only one or two days from submitting our dossier in Eastern Europe when our facilitator received “Scott’s” file. Any sooner and we would not have known about him until we couldn’t have said, “yes!” I have confidence that God knows what He’s doing.

Oh, but it is hard to wait.
