Our hopes to tie up the home study with a pretty Christmas bow and send it off for good were somewhat disappointed this month. We couldn't quite get our medicals done in time, the letter from my supervisor turned out to be missing some details, and DeAnna's fingerprints were deemed "unreadable". I'm pretty sure she had her fingerprints removed when the government recruited her to track aliens here on Earth... or was that Men in Black? Anyway, for the first couple of weeks in January we have had to put our heads back down and forge ahead. We spent a day getting DeAnna's fingerprints re-done and mailed off (third time's a charm!), and another day renewing our passports (no, you can't show your teeth!). We completed some more discussion questions (our favorite!), got the medicals sent in, and had my boss add some more describing words (really, really, really excellent...). Everything is in except for the final word on DeAnna's fingerprints. So today we get to relax and breathe while we pray for everything to process swiftly. My consolation is that God is sovereign in all this. I know that the timing is all part of His plan. To me it seems like a delay, but to our son it may be perfect timing! One day it will all make sense. Let's all hope that day is sooner rather than later!
Love you all,
Ken
