Paper work and Support Update

It has been over one week since our LOA arrived on our doorstep and so much has happened!  We are blown away by God’s faithfulness and provision. 

Beginning with the paper work, the chase continues.  We signed and returned our LOA to our agency. 

 

We sent more paperwork to U.S. Immigration to work on Micah’s citizenship and visa.  We are also working on our China visas.  We are waiting on travel approval (TA) from the Chinese government.  We will travel about 2 weeks after TA.  This whole process should take about 3 months as mentioned in a previous post. 

Next, let’s talk about God’s faithfulness.  We have shared before; this adoption is God’s work.  He called us to adopt Micah; we obeyed.  It was scary to step out in faith.  The thing is, we trust our Savior.  He is faithful. 

It was not easy to send out letters and ask for our family and friends to support Micah’s adoption.  It has been quite humbling.  There was also a fear of the unknown: people’s responses, people’s judgments, and the fear of not raising enough support.  These letters have been covered in prayer.  We know that not everyone will be led to support Micah’s adoption.  We are prayerful that many will bless our family with their support.

We have a goal to raise $12,500.  We have added a thermometer to the right to keep you updated on our progress.  We have been anxious to receive an update from our church with our progress.  We are confident God’s hand is at work and we were looking to see how the body of Christ would support our family.  THEY DID!!!  GOD IS FAITHFUL!!!  We have raised over $7,000!!!!  Over halfway to our goal!  THANK YOU!!!  NOTHING is too big for our God!

We do not have the words to describe God’s goodness.  We are speechless!  We praise God for his goodness and thank him for the works He has done.
