Birth certficate

A huge praise, we received Zuri's birth certificate and was able to e-mail it to the embassy this morning.  We have requested that her case be expedited so we shall see how quickly we get our approval.  Please pray that her passport will be issued very soon so this doesn't slow our next step down which is the visa then travel. 

Thanks for all the support at Ten For Orphans, God has blessed us more than we ever dreamed.

Still waiting

We learned yesterday that the signed birth certificate will be ready on Thursday, praying this is true.  The wait is so very hard, knowing our baby is laying in an orphanage and needing medical attention.  She is in a wonderful home but it is still an orphanage with limited medical supplies and medications that she needs.  They love her dearly but nothing can take the place of a family.  Keep praying.

EERRRRR

So I am wondering how long it takes to sign a birth certificate, obviously more than 3 days because it isn't signed yet.  We are nearing the time when we will need to update our homestudy and all our clearances, we are praying these final steps move at record speed.  Please pray with us that each and every person who touches a piece of paper that says Maame Afua on it that they have a strong desire to expedite.

Last night I went to Walmart and bought a very soft blanket to cuddle her with on the long plane ride home, I think I might just pack her bags this week in antipication that within a few weeks I will be leaving.  We have letters in place from our congressman and pediatrician requesting the I600 and visa be expedited.

Prayers are needed!
