We got our Favorable Determination Letter in the mail today. I was completely surprised. It can take up to 2 1/2 months to get this from the USCIS government office. We got it in 2 1/2 weeks. This is the letter that states the government will allow us to bring an orphan into the United States. This is also the last piece of paperwork we needed for our dossier to be able to go to Ethiopia. This makes us one step closer to bringing our child or children home. God has allowed our proces, up to this point, to happen pretty quick. I feel extremely torn knowing that a mother somewhere in the world will be giving up their child so we get a referral. During our wait I pray daily for that mother and her journey. I pray that God will give her peace and comfort. I can't imagine the dispare she will have to feel knowing that the only way to save her child is to give her away.
Wait patiently for the LORD.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the LORD. (Psalm 27:14 NLT)
