Funding Update

Submitted by Heidi Bayly on Wed, 02/09/2011 - 3:29pm

We are eager to receive our final paperwork and submit our dossier to Ethiopia, however, with that eagerness comes prayer that God will provide what we need to pay the fees due at that time. When we send in our dossier we will send with it $7,200.

This is a large chunk of our adoption expenses and we have months before completing and hearing back from the grants we are applying for.

Would you please pray that God would allow us to pay this amount? We trust that He will provide.

Just Waiting for One More Document!

We went in and had our final set of fingerprints done yesterday. We were able to go early (our appointment wasn't for another two weeks). Now we just have to wait until the government office of immigration gets our approval form to us (I171H). We'd appreciate prayers that this happens quickly. It *should* take not more than two weeks, but last time we waited for two months.

Please pray that we are assigned a USCIS case worker quickly and that there would be no problems with our paperwork and they would send our approval notice as soon as possible.
