The excitement builds

We got our homestudy and request off to USCIS.  They converted the check to electronic funds last Thursday and today we received our date for our biometrics.  It is still two weeks out but I can hardly wait.  After reading Debb Marquez's story on their biometrics, I was starting to get a little worried, but I'm now wondering if this isn't the Lord's way of making it so we might travel together to pick up our kids.  We will find out.  I still am patient with paperwork, we did have a snaggle with our homestudy matching some of the documents in our dossier.  I think we got that figured out today and new paperwork is coming.  After that everything is ready for the go ahead from our government.  Please continue to pray for us all and especially for the children.  I found out today that some of the children who are waiting on families are ill.  Please pray for protection over them and quick healing so they can grow strong and healthy with their new families. 
Bless you all.

We are on our way,

After what seems forever, we received the final homestudy to send to USCIS.  That will go in the mail on Monday.  Hopefully, it won't take long to get our I 171-H form to return.  The anticipated wait is 4 to 6 weeks.  We know that God has already chosen our children and trust it is in his time.  We carry on.  We have started to process of looking for bedroom furniture, Aunt Maureen has been garage saling and has found some true treasure.  Her son Tyler has turned over several treasure from his childhood to share with the boys and we would Love to start purchasing clothes.  Unfortunately, we don't know what size!!!  We are being patient, (as patient as one can be).  The house is getting painted on the inside and new floor coverings are going down the end of this month.  It truly will be ready for two boys!!! as will we.  Please continue to keep our children, as well as all the children and us in your prayers.
