Making Progress

We verbally received our USCIS approval on Tuesday May 5th. What a huge relief!! Tears of pure joy! The UCIS caseworker wasn't pleasant by any means so I'm so glad that part is done. We got the official approval letter in the mail on Friday. Looks like our dossier (big packet of "official" documents) will go over to Tanzania, Africa this week. Wrote out a large check to the adoption agency today for the next step in our journey. Guess what??? God has provided every penny needed so far! Still a ways to go but we are confident that the remainder of the money will come as well.
Yesterday was Mothers Day. I was showered with homemade gifts, kind words, and extra hugs and kisses from my three children. My heart still yearns for our child (ren) in Tanzania at the Falco Children's Village. We want you to know that you have a mommy and daddy that already love you so much! That one day soon you will no longer be a orphan(s). You will have a mommy and daddy to tuck you in at night and three siblings to call yours. Whether one or two children God has them picked and knows their precious name. We continue to pray for God to protect you and let you know you are loved. Patiently waiting for our referral to come in the coming weeks or months.
