Still Waiting

Quick update: We are still waiting on our I-797, the last piece of our dossier. We have our dossier all ready to go, in an envelope except this document. When I called the USCIS, they stated that they were working on a big backlog and it could be 60 days from the time our I-800a was received in TX, 12/29/2010. I know that this will all happen in God's timing, but I am really wanting to bring Josiah home. I had a dream last night that I was carrying him around the yard showing him some of the things around the house, and this made me want him home even more. It is hard to think that it may still be 6 months before we go, estimating 4-5 months from our log-in date, which will hopefully be sometime in March. Please pray that either the time goes by fast, or that some of those dates are moved up. There is a little boy on the other side of the world who wants a family, and the only thing that stands between him and us is time. Here is what one of our new friends Tina, who met Josiah in August, sent me a few weeks ago. This is what Josiah said to her:

"He pointed to a picture on the wall of a ship on some stormy seas in Harmony House. Other kids were crawling all over us, and for the most part, he never retaliated until provoked beyond what he could stand. He pointed to that picture and said, 'See that boat? My mommy and daddy are on that boat. The are taking a long time to come, but they are coming to pick me up."

Now if that doesn't make you want to fly halfway around the world just to hug him, I don't know what does. Josiah, we are coming and can't wait to get off that boat and hold you in our arms.
