We received all of our court documents (including PV, consent, bc judgment, court judgment, his birth certificate and our CONA docs) in French on Monday.
They were sent to the translator Monday afternoon.
I received the translations back Tuesday around noon.
WOW!!!
That meant I had to kick it in high gear and get everything ready
and filled out so we could send our I600 to USCIS.
I made myself focus on getting everything printed, filled out, signed, etc so I could make it to the post office before it closed. I SO badly wanted to sit and devour every last word on these papers so I could learn more about our son.
I made it to the PO with 20 minutes to spare (after we ran out of printer paper and we had to make a quick trip to Mimi and Pop Pop's house to steal some more paper - yes, that was easier, quicker, more fun than a trip to Walmart).
Our I600 was overnighted and received the following morning.
YAY!
Now we wait some more...
Speaking of waiting - someone posted this quote on our private DRC facebook prayer group...
Joseph waited 13 years.
Abraham waited 25 years.
Moses waited 40 years.
Jesus waited 30 years.
If God is making you wait,
you're in good company.
Waiting is not easy and I'm learning LOTS about reliance on God through this process. I'm thinking I need to go dig a little deeper into the story of Joseph, Abraham and Moses right now.
Needed to hear the part about waiting... it is a good reminder that my timing is not His timing. Let's just say that our road to expanding our family has been an emotional roller-coaster these past few months and the answer is still - WAIT! Excited you got to file your I-600! :)
