James 1:27

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

quick update

Okay so not much new.....we are just waiting. Wow, do we know what waiting feels like. We are supposedly still going to get that "potential referral". Apparently we are waiting on the Ministry of Social Welfare to release their social and medicals and then the referral can be official. One week has turned into just close to 2 months now. But!, I know God's timing is right. Of course, with school starting craziness I have been pretty busy nonstop so definitely not waiting by the computer. Some days I'm not sure I even have a moment to actually take in something so big as an email with info. So, it's all good :)
We did get our official papers that we can bring orphans into the country-our I600a approval. We had to be fingerprinted in Denver (Bryce too because he's over 18). The place was empty when we arrived so we laughed at why we waited weeks with an official appointment date and time (Bryce even had to have a different appt date because the computer had shown no appts left after they entered mine and Glenn's name--ugg), but that's the gov for ya. I remember earlier on panicking about getting that paperwork in (have to have home study approval and all to submit it) and the timing and didn't want to be waiting weeks for an appointment and then weeks more for approval. Turns out that was really such an insignificant thing to wait for and didn't halt anything.....as we're waiting anyway! :)  It was the last big step and we have done everything for this process we can possibly do at this point.
Thanks everyone for your support. I know many of you have sent donations to Kids Too! for us. We don't get names until the end of the year so please know that we thank you in our hearts, just can't on paper yet.
