It is hard to believe we are done with eight months of this year today!!
At 8:30 promptly this morning, I received a fantastic phone call from our awesome officer at NBC. She wanted to let us know first thing that she approved our file and wanted to fax us the approved I-17H approval, so we could get it to the GWCA. At 8:53, I received the scanned approval from NBC and forwarded it immediately to GWCA to start the appointment request.
By later that afternoon, GWCA emailed us to let us know that we were now in line to get an appointment with the embassy on October 18th. She also mentioned that she is working to get 18 total families approved on that same day in Guangzhou! Wow!! I never knew that many families might get to travel for adoption at that time. Our friends, the Freeland’s, are already approved and have a departure date for China in the prior week. We are so happy for them and Jessica! So we are praying that we can travel with them.
We are disappointed that we cannot travel in the next two weeks to get WeiWei. However, we know that Father knows best, and He knows we have much preparation yet to do before bringing her home. So we will plan to use our extra time wisely over these next few weeks to physically prepare to bring her home.
We are also praying daily for WeiWei to find favor for us in her heart. We realize this will be a HUGE transition for her, and it will be difficult for all of us. With her heart focused on her forever family before we get there, it will be a huge blessing for all of us. So please join us in praying for her during this time of waiting.
In Him!
