Yesterday, at lunchtime I was in the process of doing the final assembling of the immigration documents to submit to the immigration office in Texas. I received an email from David suggesting to hold off on submitting the forms due to a slight change that might be needed on the forms. When I got home, a 2nd email from David suggested that we change our home study to open up adoption to possibly younger kids.
The problem is that our two kids are expected off the adoption registry sometime in July. There is the concern that the children could be presented by the SDA to another family (unknown at this time, but a possibility).
After sending in the immigration forms, final approval could come within 4-5 weeks. Four days needed to get apostilled and delivered to Ukraine and 3-4 more days to prepare and submit the dossier. After that, it appears it would take 6-7 weeks to get the opportunity to travel. There is a period of exposure from the time we would be able to travel and when they could be available for adoption.
Definitely a need for prayer and to rely on God when things are out of your control, which I believe is what God wants from us anyway. Ultimately, God wants our trust and reliance on him.
