We made it!

The Embassy appointment couldn't have been any easier. Amanda and I got all ready and showed up early--I even put on a nice shirt and khakis--and we were in and out in about ten minutes. There wasn't really even any "interview" at all. We just had to affirm that all of the paperwork we filled out was true and signed in two places and that was it. The Embassy worker was an American man and even congratulated us on our way out. What seemed like such a burden was lifted so quickly and easily. We thank you all so much for your prayers and your words of encouragement. We are extremely happy right now and excited about coming home tomorrow.

That's all for now. The next time we post we may be back home. Can't wait to see everyone.

Later...

I'm relying on Janet to let us know when you will be in Fort Wayne so that we can have a homecoming party for your family!

Hugs to you all!!!

PRAISE GOD! I am so impressed with how He has guided you through this whole process, provided for you through it all and not let you down at any point! Praise Him for who He is and for His provision for you! I can't wait to meet Anara, although I am sure it will be a while! Praying for all FOUR of you!

Yeah! I am so happy that everything went smoothly! I woke up last night and just couldn't sleep b/c I was thinking about you. Praise God that you are on your way home with precious Anara.

Congratulations! Noah woke up at 4:15 a.m. our time and I thought that was quite providential. I was thinking of you and praying for you during the time it took to settle him again.

I'm just thrilled for you all!!!

Yeah!!! I can't wait to see Anara and I am sure that Sarah has missed seeing Vi. Amanda, I have been going crazy because I haven't had a chance to sit down and just catch up. I missed you!!! It's Wednesday and I am dancing in my seat waiting to hear when I can come over and hang out. Don't worry, I won't bug you too much. I know that you have lot's of doctor stuff to do. I was there once, I understand.
