This morning I was praying for some news. Anything positive. Praying that we would continue to move forward in our process. Guess what...I got some news! Our family coordinator said that our attorney in Honduras said they are requesting additional photos from us. Honestly, I held my breath when I saw the email come through on my phone. The title indication additional things were needed for our dossier so I was preparing myself for something really hard, expensive, complicated. So when I saw that not only did we need photos, but that they could be EMAILED to them I was relieved!! So as soon as I got home I started working on it. I've already emailed everything to our family coordinator. We have no clue if they will ask for anything else or want something else changed, but I'm so thankful to have heard anything at all. It's heartbreaking hearing of other families that have waited 4 or 5 months to even find out if they were approved. Praying this means we will know SOON!!
Thank you for your prayers! We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our precious son. There have been changes again in Honduras and we are hearing/reading conflicting reports, but overall it seems to be pretty positive! It's hard when you start the process thinking that in 18 months you could have your child already home and in your arms...only to be 10 months into it and still waiting to even get on the long waiting list. It is in God's timing. He called us to this! But our journey does not come without it's hurdles and we appreciate all the love, support, and prayers. I'm trying not to focus on the fact that it could be a few years before he is home. I'm just taking each day at a time and thanking God for any news and progress we receive!!

Psalm 34:8 Oh taste and see that the Lord is GOOD: Blessed is the man that trusts in him!
Today I woke up feeling like I needed to hear something about our adoption. As I mentioned in the last post, the process for having our Dossier translated would take several weeks and then it could be a couple weeks more before going before the IHNFA. I sent our Family Coordinator an email to see if she could tell us if it had started to be translated or what was going on. Fully prepared to hear that it wasn't finished or maybe even still in line to be translated.
Johnna wrote me back this afternoon.
She said that she had to admit that she was surprised and impressed. She checked in with the agency's/our attorney in Honduras and she confirmed that not only had our dossier been translated, but it's already been presented before the IHNFA!! Isn't God good?!
Now we wait for requests for additions/changes or for approval/login#!! Praying for a first time approval.
We're so happy! A long road ahead, but we just got a few steps closer to our destination... our precious son!!
