Another Step toward Her...

Today brought another step in the journey to our sweet baby girl/s. It's time to update our fingerprinting with USCIS (Homeland Security) so we mailed the official written request and the required fees to the government office. In approximately three to four weeks, we will make another trip to be refingerprinted. Yes, it is yet another expense but we choose to look at it as another step toward our precious daughter/s in China.

We thank God for His provision as we faced this step in the process. Somehow, He always provides at just the right time in just the right way. Wow! We thank each of you for your continued prayers and concern, as well. It is a tremendous blessing to know we are never alone!

Please pray specifically that we will be able to return to the USCIS office in Cincinnati. We have gone to that office the last two times we were fingerprinted. Some prospective adoptive parents are sent to Louisville. But we really like the Cincy office and have learned (somewhat) how to travel there a bit easier now. So, if you will, please pray that we will once more be able to return to the Cincy office and enjoy the familiarity we have learned along the way. Please also pray that our appointment date will work easily with Rachel's school schedule since she will be nearing the end of her spring semester around the time we travel to the USCIS office.

We thank God for each of you and we hope and pray that your week is going well. May you be blessed in your journey each day...and each step along the way.
Grateful for another step toward our little daughter/s,
Terri and family

Well... we're 1 day closer! We - ofcourse - will pray that the timing will be just right. God knows. He will see to it that it will be fine. Here it is... the 27th of March... (the "th" wouldn't stay up with the 27... go figure...).
Anyway, we pray all will go well and that you can get to Cincy for the fingerprints... please, please clue them in that your prints haven't changed. lol.
Love you all. I'm NUTS-busy and going crazy. But I'll be fine.
Love ya.
Judy
