We received I-600A approval last Thursday (12/6/2012)!
This means we have USA approval to "look for an orphan".
AKA - we're referral ready!!!!
Our immigration officer was/is the best! When I called to check on our status last Monday I had to leave a message. I didn't expect a return phone call because I was just being a nosy, impatient adoptive momma. She called right back and updated me on when she received our case and when she thought it would be approved. She worked fast on our case and then even emailed me to say it was approved.
On a different note, I have been reading the Jesus Calling by Sarah Young each day - this is a great 2 minute read to begin the day and get my mind more focused on God rather than my crazy day ahead or my to-do list...
Anyways, this was a portion of the reading today:
"I, the Creator of the universe, have designed to co-create with you. Do not try to hurry this process. If you want to work with Me, you have to accept My time frame. Hurry is not in My nature. Abraham and Sarah had to wait many years for the fulfillment of My promise, a son. How their long wait intensified their enjoyment of this child!"
Hmmmm.... that was perfectly written for a momma in the middle of an international adoption. This might get written on a few notecards and placed throughout my house and life as a good reminder over the next 5 months. I'm thankful for the nuggets of truth He has placed in my path and the way He is growing me as a person through this adoption already.
