Three weeks from today, our facilitator is scheduled to submit our dossier to the SDA (state dept of adoption in Ukraine). And as of 4:30 this afternoon, we were still missing our U.S. approval, the I-171H. We had left voice mails and sent emails, and were hopeful [desperate] for a response.
At 7 AM this morning, I received a one-word response from our local office: Approved.
It was great news, don't get me wrong. But I wasn't going to feel total relief until I saw the document in the mailbox.
All three of us were in the backyard doing some yard work this afternoon, when we heard the mailman. I really didn't expect it today, but proceeded to the mailbox. Two pieces of junk mail... and an envelope from the Dept of Homeland Security. Could this really be it?!?!
As we neared zero hour (we needed it by the end of this week), we finally received our last document!
Thanks to everyone that prayed us through this step of the process. We've already thanked God about a million times today for this wonderful news. Praise Him for taking care of this detail!
Solnyshko, the papers are on their way, and soon we'll be there with you!
