By Faith Not By Sight

We are a family that loves God and loves each other. Our family is built through, and so blessed by adoption. As a family we are lead to pray for the children who remain orphans with no family to call their own, no mom and dad to take care of them. When one face began to repeatedly appear to us, and many things kept connecting us to one little boy, we began to look closer at this one child in an orphanage in China. We began to listen to our hearts and pray harder. Fast forward to a year later. Our Pastor is teaching on circle prayers. Calling us to move to a higher level in our prayer life and faith. Bold prayers, "circle prayers", prayers that call us to step out in faith, without giving up. Pressing in to the heart of God. So circle prayers are what we are praying, for God to lead us and provide a way for us to bring this little boy home.

Timeline

We have been busy getting things done today. The police department had our clearances. USCIS was wonderful and let us walk in and have our fingerprints done. The staff there was so nice and helpful. That bought us major time back. We should now get our clearances in about 1-2 months.  It was so much easier than when we went for Allie's adoption, and was located right in Holtsville! This was great since this time we had the kiddos with us. We then got everything certified by the county. When we get our approval we can just go back and get that done to add to our dossier. Hopefully New Jersey will be moving quickly and we will have that certified form back in time for us to go into the city to finish certifications and have everything certified by the state before Michael heads back to work. Feeling very positive. But if I sit and calculate times, it still seems we will be bringing him home in 2013 around Feb.. I'm not going to look that hard at that time line. Miracles happen. For now we are moving forward, and that feels really good!
