Danny Update

Everything is moving right along in the legal process for bringing Danny home!  His passport was ready the end of January and we have the Adoption Decree (in French).  We are waiting for three other legal documents, in French, and then all four legal documents to be translated.  Then we will be able to move to the next step – more paperwork to the government!  Then a few steps with the US Embassy in country - and then he'll be home!!!!

We might experience a slight hiccup which could increase our wait time in bringing him home though.  We heard from our international agency last week that the US Embassy in country has been flooded with adoptions and paperwork lately.  They are not increasing their staff size and so estimated time for embassy investigations has increased from 2-6 weeks to 3-6 months.  However, they are able to begin the investigations 6 weeks earlier.  So it’s not yet known how much, if at all, it will slow the process down.  We know that Danny will not come home one day late!! (Even though we wish he was home yesterday!)

We so appreciate everyone’s excitement and cannot tell you how blessed we are by that.  We would ask that you continue to pray for Danny – specifically that he remain healthy and that he be happy each day.  We also ask for continued prayer for an accurate and speedy legal and paperwork process.  And we ask for prayer for peace in God’s timetable and joy in the preparations of getting ready to add to our family.
