So Close!!! Happy News!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We have good news!  The day (or two) after writing the last update, our psychologist contacted Kyle and the corrections that needed to be made were completed by the end of the week! I'm pretty sure he got in touch with us so quickly because our physician (who originally recommended this psychologist) put in a phone call on our behalf to speed along his response. Thank heavens!

We also just received Kyle's birth certificate in the mail from California!

What this all means is..... We are sending our paperwork into the agency on Monday! We are still waiting on our immigration pre-approval form to arrive in the mail (we pray that any day now that will come) and we have another form that needs re-apostilled because Honduras decided to change the formatting of the form, BUT that's it! I can't believe how close we are.

Continue to pray that things progress smoothly over the next week or two and that our final pieces come together quickly. Our family coordinator will review all the documents now so that as soon as the immigration approval arrives and is apostilled and we get that sent in with the new form....then it can be off to Honduras!!

Once it is in Honduras, the waiting begins. We have to wait for it to be translated and approved. After that is when we will receive our waitlist number. That could take as little as 4 months and, honestly, as long as 8 months? We just pray that these last steps occur quickly and that the Lord moves our paperwork through expeditiously so we can receive that long-anticipated waitlist number.

We trust that in each of these steps the Lord is teaching us lessons. We are learning about patience, surrender and how to love a child we've never even met. We know we still have a long road ahead of us, but it all excites us so much!

Thank you for your prayers and we'll let you know when the paperwork is on it's way to Honduras!
