last piece of paper (we hope)

Well, it finally happened. The piece of paper we have been waiting on has finally arrived. We received our approval from immigration to be adoptive parents. Who would have thought it would take this long to figure out. I still contend that if we could get the government involved in approving natural childbirths, we could end world hunger, overpopulation, and most government entitlement programs. Well, we have copies of the form off to Todd and Lesley. They will take them to the Sec. of States office in the morning, and then send them on to Dallas for us. Dallas will turn them around to Russia for us. Once they get to Russia, the Judge has to review them, and then we can get our court date.

We have prayed for months that we are home for Christmas. At this point it will require God's touch for that to happen. We look forward to being able to praise him for that gift.

We are also especially happy that Caleb was given an all clear yesterday. He was back at St. Jude's for scans following his Chemo treatments. He is CANCER FREE!!!! We thank God for that for sure.

We thank you for your continued prayers as we try to get God's child home with us. We cannot adequately express to you how much of a difference those prayers make.
