Last bit of paperwork

June 25, 2018June 25, 2018Leave a comment

We received the i600 Notice of Transfer letter today!  I think I mentioned previously that the i600a was to approve us as a family to adopt, and now i600 approves Sam specifically.  Basically, this part of our paperwork goes to Seoul until our adoption is finalized in Korea. Meanwhile, we are just waiting on EP … Continue reading Last bit of paperwork

And yet, I find myself feeling so hesitant … Continue reading Praying Expectantly

We shipped out Sam's birthday gift!  It's in a 12 x 12 x 12 box, so it won't be delivered the way the standard small care packages are sent.  Thus, I have no idea when it will arrive in Seoul.  I'm hopeful  it gets there by his birthday checkup, but he may not receive it … Continue reading Sam’s Birthday Gift

We've had a few people ask us to let them know if we plan to do any fundraising! For Sam's first birthday next month, we thought it would be fun to do t-shirt orders in June and then ask everyone who orders to send us a photo in the shirt for his birthday in July! … Continue reading Sam T-shirts!

WE MADE IT: EP Submission!

"I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."  Psalm 27: 13-14 I keep trying to write this post, but I am so overwhelmed with gratitude that I just keep stopping to pray "Thank you, thank you, thank you." We heard … Continue reading WE MADE IT: EP Submission!
