Visa is finally ready!

Yipppeeeee!!!!

After months of waiting, I got the call today that my visa and residency permit is finally ready.

This has been the one thing holding up our bringing Anna home, so now things can finally get going. We've been so looking forward to being "real" parents and having full responsibility for our daughter, rather than just popping in for a visit in the afternoon. Plus, now that she is walking and developing in so many other wonderful ways, we don't want to miss a minute of it!

Many thanks to everyone who has been praying with us through this long ordeal. There's still bureaucratic stuff ahead (the actual court date to finalize the adoption should be in about 3-5 months) but we're through the hardest part. PRAISE GOD!!!!

P.S. In case you've noticed and been wondering, our website has not been updated in a while. This is because our beloved laptop finally bit the dust and we don't have access to the website software on our work computers. We're hoping to get that rectified soon, but in the meantime we have to wait till we can get a new computer. So, my blog will have the most updated info.
