it's difficult not to wonder if we are all alone on the path.
Other times,
like NOW for my family,
there is no doubt that someone is paving the way,
providing the means,
and blessing us beyond belief.
After 3 1/2 long years of worry, fundraising, traveling, politics and paperwork,
we have reached the very end of Dimitry's adoption process.
His file is in USCIS in Port-au-Prince,
awaiting approval of his I-600 application.
It sounds simple enough, but many families have known heartache, even at this late stage.
We have been asked to provide 2 additional translations
(I didn't even realize we haven't ever seen the final adoption decree and certificate),
which we are needing scanned to us from Haiti,
and a letter from the nuns at the orphanage regarding Dimitry's journey to them.
Wow
Simple enough, right?
It's been a full week without communication from Fondwa . . .
perhaps the nuns are on retreat and without internet access?
We have been so blessed by other families sharing this journey.
The K family, adopting a dear friend of Dimitry's at the orphanage,
have supported us and assisted in communicating with the nuns recently.
Even they cannot make contact.
This morning, I posted a prayer request on Facebook,
specifically asking for communication to happen so we can continue to move forward with meeting USCIS' requirements for approval.
What did God grant us?
C, a mama adopting twin dollies from Fondwa, contacted me and is leaving for Fondwa tomorrow morning.
Again I say, WOW
Despite traveling to secure evidence for her own children's approval, she graciously offered to act on our behalf to gather the information we need.
Our son turns 8 years old in 10 days --
all I want for him, is a family.
He deserves that, doesn't he?
God has this in His hands, clearly.
