No new news as of yet...but we did get a new photo of our sweet son! He is growing up so fast...it is kinda bitter-sweet to get pictures of him. He is standing up really well, could possibly be walking or cruising at this point...He's a handsome fella though...:)
I carry photos of him in my wallet, so if you'd like to see him, just ask...
The time is getting closer and closer to the end of the year and it is looking more and more like we will not be going before the years' end...:(
Not only will we be sad not to hold our son for the holidays, but we will not be able to receive the $13,000 adoption rebate that we would be eligible for if we bring him home before the end of the year. We were really hoping to be able to get this so that we could put it back into the heafty loan that we took out to fund the adoption. If we don't make it within this year, we will be paying it back for quite a while...
That being said, we serve a MIGHTY God who can move mountains, and we are praying for this mountain to be moved!!!

YAY!!! We received our documents last night from the translator!!! We reviewed them (about 10 times) and made corrections. We sent them back to our agency, so they are out of our hands for the moment! This morning, we received and email that our documents had been sent on to the translator for the changes to go into effect. YAY! They will then wait for our Certificate of Non-Appeal and send all of the documents together back to Congo to be submitted to the Dept. of Foreign Affairs....YAY!!! And YAY again!!!
Please continue to pray for things to move along quickly...our goal is to bring our son home by the end of this year!!!! Thank you all for your prayers!!!
