Quick post to just update you all that we received our embassy date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are a little bummed that our travel will end up being in September...but we are rejoicing in knowing (approximately) when we will finally meet our baby girl face to face!
We have been scheduled for our embassy "interview" on August 24. We will not be there for this appointment and will have a representative there for us. After the interview they will do an investigation to review how/why Addy is orphaned and track where she has been since birth. This process usually takes 1-2 weeks but I'm hoping that being she is so young and has only been one other place, the investigation will be rather quick (just my own hopes!).
As soon as the investigation is clear, we will be cleared to travel and can go GET OUR BABY!!!!!
Bobby and I got up before dawn this morning and drove to Bismarck for our yellow fever and typhoid shots....we are officially done with every step of this adoption other than the appointments....
Between work, the new house, and our three kiddos, I am hoping to stay VERY busy so August flies by as fast as July did!
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow---His hand has guided us along this journey 100% of the way. He called us down this path and has been by our side gently guiding and proving all we need for EVERY step down to the penny, worry, and doubt! Wow, our God is so great!
Please take a moment today and reflect on all the blessings YOU have been given and the tough times He has helped you through. If you're like me there are way too many to count!
Good (happy) night!
(P.S. updated photos of our sweetness should be coming any day---yahoo!!!)
