A quick little update as to where we are at in the paperwork pregnancy...the Albanian Adoption Committee has given their enthusiastic support of our file and we are waiting for the official form to arrive so I can send that back to the US Government. Whoohoo! The US has said I can bring a child in. Albania has said I can bring a child out. Now the US needs to agree that Albania has said yes to their yes and we can look to schedule our court dates in Albania in June. Whew!
Financially, the Lord is providing EVERY cent right as we need it (and not a moment before, in classic God style) so while we still need all of our travel and in country fees covered ($25,000) God has covered everything thus far so I'm believing He'll continue to do the same. We should be hearing from several grants soon which is AWESOME.
Thank you for those that have been lifting us up spiritually. We had some pretty significant resistance earlier this month and many of you went to your knees in battle. The Lord prevailed and moved a significant mountain! There is a now in a memorial in my heart that says "Here. In this place, God moved". Maybe we'll see the physical evidence of that when we are in Albania.
Until then, we continue to pray for our girly: That her heart would be drawn to us even as we are 5,800 miles away and she would find safety and peace in the face of the strange American woman that is about to be her mother. <3
