We just got the news that our paperwork made it to Ghana safely.  Ahhhhhhhhh....it has taken us 8 months to get to this stage, and it's such a relief to have it out of our hands. Now we have two things to keep praying for regarding this process:

1. Our social worker was supposed to send our homestudy to an agency in Texas that would approve it and then send it to the U.S. immigration, who have been waiting for it since August. I emailed the social worker this week to see if it had been done yet (I don't think it has), and haven't gotten a reply. This really needs to get done soon, so that we can get U.S. visa approval as soon as possible.

2. We hope the social welfare worker in Ghana will not sit on our case for a month like he did with another family. Because our little girl is already cleared for adoption from the Ghana side, we are hoping that we will get a court date before too long.

Thank you for your prayers on behalf of this little girl. I'm hoping to show you a video of her very soon...stay tuned!
