Waiting.....

I feel like this will be my title for many, MANY months to come.  But, I have gained a peace about the waiting process that I didn't have before.  I realize that fretting and worrying is not going to speed up the process nor is it going to change the outcome.  God also plainly tells us to not worry about tomorrow.  So, I wait!   I wait for the phone call or email to come.  I have found out that "little man's" file is back in the parish of St. James and I am not certain if the investigation has actually started.  I have been reminded that there is no guarantee that he will be mine.  But, I just had a few new pictures tagged on facebook of him, and my heart wants to burst open.  Absolutely beautiful.....as they all are!!  

I wanted to give a short update just so you know what is going on in the process.  I go on with my life knowing that I will visit again either this summer or early fall, and continue to pray daily!  Please continue to pray with me.

Roller Coaster!

My last post was not very encouraging, but since then, I actually got some good news!!   On Friday, April 1st, I called the CDA office in the region where the little man was born and spoke again with his original case-worker.   She remembered who I was and knew the child I was calling about without me even having to say his name.  That alone was huge in my book.   She then told me that they have opened an investigation to find his birth parents to try and get them to legally terminate rights.  If they are not able to find them, they will then run an ad in the paper trying to find any family for 6-8 weeks, I believe.  If no one comes forward at that point, the courts can legally terminate rights!!   I can wait!  I can wait as long as I know there is movement toward making this happen.   If I ever get to hear the words....."he will be your child"....I will go visit him many times until I get to bring him home!

I have my appointment at immigration on Friday the 15th to have my fingerprints done for my I600A.    This is one of my final steps in the paperwork journey.

 I am finding this to be a bit of an emotional roller coaster...but it will be SO WORTH the ride!!  Please continue to pray for me and this whole process whenever you feel led to do so!

God is Good!
