We were finger printed for our USCIS approval Monday, Nov. 24th. Today, we received our I-797 approval in the mail. If you're not familiar with adoption timelines, having your biometrics processed in two weeks is amazing.
It's super, super fast processing. Because this processed so quickly, we will: 1. Get our kiddo sooner and 2. Not have to redo any paperwork (which also means getting our kiddo MUCH sooner).
We were potentially going to have to redo some very complicated forms that are time-consuming.
I thought I was being bold by asking God for our I-797 by Daniel's birthday. It came three days sooner. God provided immeasurably more. Our Father is so faithful, regardless of surprises, delays or even unmet expectations, our Father loves us and we trust His plan for us.
Eva is very excited about paperwork for her sibling:)
Ephesians 3:16-21
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your heartsthrough faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
