Sorry to report, we still do not have travel dates -- and, we really have no idea what to expect. We had tickets on hold to leave 3/13, but we had to let them go. We didn't feel confident that our paper work would be ready by then -- and, we didn't want to be tied to one airline carrier -- so we forfeited the purchase. Now we have tickets on hold for 3/20...
Our paper work is slowly progressing. I was able to request that our immigration file be transferred from Kansas City to the Atlanta office (the office that services AL)...one obstacle down!! And, I was able to established correspondence regarding our case with an agent in Atlanta...another plus!!
Now we continue to wait for AL-DHR to forward our home study addendum to Atlanta. We also have been in touch with an influential person here in AL who is helping us with AL-DHR. (Actually, this individual and I were seated at the same table last Saturday during a women's prayer brunch at our church -- when she introduced herself I just wept! That was no coincidence...that was God's sovereignty!!!)
I must say, this has been the most difficult part of our journey thus far (if you can believe that)! Now that Micah is legally ours, it is heart-crushing to be delayed to go get him!!
We are so thankful for God's continued faithfulness...even to the very end of this journey!!

Alisa - I am praying earnestly for your papework. I know these days are heartwrenching for you. Hold tight to God's promises. He loves you and your precious boy dearly! - Sherry
I honestly can not even grasp at what you must feel right now. Yet I marvel at what God continues to do- seating you by this influential woman. We will trust in the name of our mighty GOD and will stand strong with you!

Amazing that God would place you right next to someone you needed to talk with! We continue to pray it all works out soon so you can travel and bring sweet Micah home.
Wow! That's so awesome about the connection you made at the prayer breakfast. God's timing is PERFECT! Please keep us posted...thinking and praying for you through all this.
