Kenneth Has A Passport!!

We got the call today!! Donna from AOH called today to let us know that Kenneth has a passport! Yeah God! I'm dancing! Here are the details: 1. He has his passport; 2. His visa appointment should be scheduled for next week; 3. If all goes extremely well, we could be traveling 3 weeks after that! That would be the end of August! Hard to believe!

Okay, so here is where it all gets a little complicated. We are still waiting on our 171H approval. This is what we know: 1. Immigration has all of our information needed to process our paperwork. (They had everything in their hands last week. This was due to the fact that our social worker was lagging behind. We had completed our part of this process in January 2007!). 2. According to our social worker after we receive our 171H approval, the state needs to approve us which takes about 2 more weeks. 3. We also do not have our state foster care licensing (something that you need if you live in the state of Illinois and are adopting). 4. Our God is bigger than any of this and with our mighty prayer warriors out there, I believe that God can do amazing things through our state and federal governments. Please join us in praying for a paperwork miracle.

*NOTE: I did ask our social worker about contacting Senator Obama's office again for expedition and she said that in her experience doing so would only slow things down. I definitely don't want to do that, but I feel like I need to do something. We'll see.
