Final days of With Every Act of Love and I-800 received :-)

Our immigration paperwork to classify Hannah as our daughter was officially received at the lockbox and should be in the process of being processed :-) sometimes between now and among and amidst the holidays.  After this step, the two countries start coordinating between themselves to allow us to travel to bring Hannah home!  We get a tighter and tighter time window as each step is completed.

If you have not yet heard about With Every Act of Love, we are their December family!  For the next 4 days only, they are continuing to host an envelope fundraiser for us, to help with that last big set of expenses that are coming months faster than we could have ever imagined.  You can see what it's all about by clicking the picture!  

Envelopes still available are #'s 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13,14,15, 16,17, 18,19, 55,74,144.  Meanwhile, we are continuing to work and save, and if we are awarded the Adopt Together grant we've applied for, we will be so close!  God has provided in ways we never saw coming- and you can believe I am writing these stories down for Hannah to keep.  They are uplifting stories, about people who will be part of her childhood, and some she may never meet.  When I know the outcome of the grant for sure, I'll share more, but for now, thank you, thank you for joining us!    

 

Side note, the day after I started getting antsy about it, Vivienne's adoption decree and certificate of citizenship followed her brand new US passport to our home.  One of those is impossible to replace as far as I know, the other is very costly to replace.  And originals were required, so lots of happy dancing this morning!  Back to safety with those documents!  Whew!
