WOW #6!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is correct, we moved up to #6 for our baby girl!! This is so exciting. It was high-fives all around today when we got the news. At times it feels like it will take forever before we are finally united with our daughter, so I can only imagine how long it must seem for our boys. They are REALLY excited to have a sister! This makes me smile :-)))

We are patiently waiting for our I-800A to get final approval. We have already had our fingerprinting done, but have not received the final approval. After some phone calls today it appears that our file will be assigned to a case worker "soon". They are already about 2 weeks past the 90 day period of when it should have been approved. The main frustration is that even if our agency has a baby to refer to us, they can't until the final approval for the I-800A comes. So we wait and we wait.

We pass the time while watching the blogs of other families as they go and pick up their children and see the pictures of them holding their children and we gaze upon the precious faces of all the referral pictures of families that will be traveling soon to meet their children. Then of course we have the education classes and books to keep us busy too :-) We are trusting that God knows who our baby girl will be and when we will be able to have her in our arms.
