When they say that adoption is a crazy journey full of unknowns....they mean it! This past weekend we've been praying fervently for DHL. That's right- the mailing/shipping company. You see, we mailed our I-600 from South Dakota on August 8th to Michigan. Somehow it didn't arrive until August 22nd. Then, it was accidentally via DHL to the South Africa branch office instead of the Ethiopian office. Same continent- wrong country. So... last week the troublesome I-600 envelope was supposed to show up by Thursday. However, by Friday it was a no show and DHL didn't really have an answer as to where it was. Hmmmmm..... not good. Especially considering that the DHL 'vehicles' we saw in Ethiopia were pedal bikes with a little box attach to the seat painted yellow saying 'DHL'. (not even the motorized ones like above) We prayed and prayed and prayed and hoped for good news this morning.
And of course- God delivered! Our I-600 immigration form arrived in Ethiopia on Monday and we were submitted to Embassy today Tuesday, September 6th. WOW, it is just incredible to think that the next 'step' in the process is for the embassy to email us saying 'come get your son'. Very, very soon we will likely go from 'getting there' to 'going there'. This week we learned that God delivers...in all kinds of ways :)
Oh my gosh that is awesome!!!!! Yay!!!!! Praying!!!!
