Quick Update

Ok, so last week we thought we had our final US approval and it turned out to be our extension approval (i'll spare you the details)...but WE DID RECEIVE IT YESTERDAY in the mail and we have it in our hot little hands now! PRAISE THE LORD!

Continue to pray that those in Korea handling sweet JM's paperwork will push their pencils just a little bit faster!!!!!

Good News!

We got an email last night from our agency that said we should be getting our US Govt Approval (I-171) in the mail anyday...that we had been approved!!!! We have had a bit of a struggle, so we were glad our agency called on our behalf and discovered the great news! That's one more HUGE step in bringing our sweet baby home soon!

We hope to hear from the Korea side soon that we've made some progress and we'll have a better idea of when we'll travel!

*Please continue to pray that those handling Jae's paperwork handle it carefully and expeditiously.

*Pray for timing of travel. We'd love for it to be over/around Miss C's Spring Break....but we'll just be glad to go whenever we can!

*Pray that we get it all done!

Hugs,

Hugs to all,

One month today!

Today marks one month since we received our precious referral of Jae Min!!!! Hopefully only a couple of months until we hold him in our arms forever!!!! I had all those months I spent wondering when we would EVER get a referral...now I am scrambling to get it all done! We received word from our agency that we can go ahead and send a picture of us and a card to Jae's Foster Mom!!! And, we also get to prepare a ziploc full of goodies for Jae Min and his Foster Mom, so next time someone from our agency travels they can take it with them!

Little Jae Min...you're first glimpse of your forever family is headed your way!!!!

Ok, things to do:
*Get Callie's Passport
*Complete our required classes for adoption
*Finish reading our required books and write report
*Take CPR class
*Clean out/organize nursery, Callie's room, closets, toys, etc ,etc, etc
*Decorate Jae Min's nursery!!!!

Whew..pray (literally) that I can get this all done in a timely manner and not procrastinate and be come completely overwhelmed!

*Please pray that our little man is having a wonderful day with his Foster Mom
*Pray that the Lord is preparing his heart to know ours when we meet him for the first time
*Pray that the transition will go as smoothly as possible
*Pray that he comtinues to develop perfectly and normally
*Pray for our paperwork...that it is all being handled properly and that we know that God's timing for us to travel to Korea is perfect!

A Blessed 6 Years!

Today at 1:37pm my precious baby girl turned 6 years old! I can't believe it! It seems like just yesterday we were coming home from the hospital.

I know God has big plans for you as He knows what an amazing heart you have for others!

I hope you have the BEST BIRTHDAY today!

All our love,
Mommy and Daddy
