Lots of good stuff this January as our church starts off with a fast to seek God about this year, my daughter’s 5th birthday on Monday, and of course…the submission of our dossier!
My daughter, Mikayla, came with us to visit the Secretary of State’s office (at the Oklahoma State Capitol). We had our documents apostilled there right before we made copies and sent it all off. One HUGE step closer to getting our baby! We’ve waited half a year for this moment and all I can say is that God is faithful and His timing is perfect.
A whirlwind of emotions today: Excited- in knowing that we can meet our baby any day! Relieved- that a huge chunk of the process is finally over! And thankful to God that everything went smooth.
We’ve had several people ask us why we would go through such an exhaustive, extensive, expensive and time-consuming process such as an international adoption. Honestly, Alan and I have never wondered that. All we know is that God placed part of our family in India and as parents we’ll do anything to bring our child home.
