Well, it's getting REALLY exciting now! We're in the HOME stretch!!!!
I dropped our final adoption documents off at Homeland Security today to be adjudicated (whatever that means) and Carrie's visa cable processed! Unfortunately, I was given absolutely no idea how long this will take. I know it took two days for Drew's... but it could potentially take weeks this time around. Only God knows. Carrie's final DNA test is being processed at the lab right now and the results will soon be on their way to the embassy! The embassy can then issue our PINK slip and give an appointment time for Carrie's VERY LAST okay to come home!!!!! Hallelujah!
The main prayer request is this:
That despite what odds we're against, Carrie would be home by Thanksgiving!
This requires the following:
1) the embassy receiving the DNA results by early next week and issuing our pink slip with a date for like 11/19 or earlier.

2) the visa cable being prepared and faxed to embassy before then and all parties being aware and in agreement of the fact that those documents are in fact there (things tend to get misplaced?).
3) one of our 3 possible escorts being ready, able & willing to bring our girl HOME!!
We cannot begin to tell you how excited we are that we are so close now! Please pray for us!!!!

Oh Laura, you are getting so close, I am so excited for you. I pray that God's hand will be over all your documents and that they may be processed in time for Carrie to be home for Thanksgiving....
God Bless-

Oh and P.S... Drew you are super cute !
Laura, I was just going to email you to say, "Hang in there!" and thought I'd check this blog. I just got chills as I remembered all of this waiting- which is a WHOLE lot of waiting- isn't just for the girl in the photos, but for your daughter who will be home REALLY soon! Glad to hear that there is really very little left to accomplish...YAY!!!!
xoxo Melissa
