Update and request for prayer

Good news first - so many of our waiting friends are getting approval letters from MOWCA like crazy! That essentially means they are passing court, and their children are becoming legally theirs. I'm super excited for all of them, and this is what about 30 of us have been waiting for the past few months. So far, 26 of the 30 have received opinions from the court, and out of these 7 are help up for various reasons. We are one of the 7. Ours was held up because of a fingerprint issue I had all throughout the paperwork stage. Everyone is hopeful it will be resolved quickly, but I have learned not to count on anything for sure during this process (except that God is good and in control.) We have another court date on June 13th where we will hear whether MOWCA got what they needed to give us a positive opinion. Hopefully, we will get good news and she will be ours! Once that happens we schedule an Embassy appt. and go get her which is taking 6 - 8 weeks. Please, please, please pray with us that we pass on Monday. Most likely they will be reviewing the file Friday, so prayers for the MOWCA official(s) that day would be helpful. Thanks friends!

  3. We are praying for you! I have no fingerprints (too much cleaning, apparently) and always have the worst time too. I'm so sorry that this is delaying your case.
