PASSPORTS!!!

A new day, and new hope for us. Mo called today to tell me that they have Ama and Jo's passports in hand, approved and signed!! This news is truly a miracle orchestrated by God in more ways than one. This was confirmed by our in-country coordinator, Percy, as well as the people in the passport office who all could not believe how quickly our passports (3rd time around, i might add) were done. So despite the set-backs and difficulties we've encountered in our adoption process, our heavenly Father has continued to sustain us and bless us along the way. He promises in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you and will bring you back from captivity." I know we keep saying this in many of our posts but we are truly grateful to you for your prayers during this time. God is showing all of us how faithful He is in ALL situations, with plans and hope for our futures(including yours!), if we come to him and seek him with all our heart. I hope you are encouraged!

So, the next step for Mo and the kiddos is to get a visa appointment at the embassy on Monday and receive their visas ASAP in order to travel home this tuesday night (yep ya read that right). We realize that this would be yet another huge miracle in the grand scheme of things, but let's pray that this would come to fruition if it is the Lord's will. We can't wait to have the rest of our family home with us (BIG exclamation point).
