Our little David crawling all over the place!
Well - it's the end of another week and we have good news and bad news. The good news is that passports are now being finished within a two week time period. Romana has applied for 4 passports and they have all come in within two weeks. The bad news is that they still don't know where our file is. The file is all of the information immigration needs to make the passport. That is what was given to them on November 5th. Without the birth certificate, we can't re-file - otherwise that is just what Romana would do and we would have the passport in two weeks and go get our kids. So - the Beacon House staff will keep on looking for our file (immigration will let them come in and look through the office paperwork, I guess) and once they find it they will re-file and we should have the passport two weeks after that. If they don't find it, they may have to try to get another birth certificate and re-apply that way. We are praying that this doesn't have to happen, but we are willing to do whatever we have to do to bring our children home. David will turn 1 on April 26th and we REALLY want him home for his first birthday. Please pray with us that God will bring our paperwork to the surface immediately and that there will be a miracle and the rest of the process will go smoothly and the children will come home! We covet your prayers! Please include Monica and Ella in your prayers as well. They are the two little girls who are also waiting for their passports in order to come home to their forever families. Maybe we can bring them all home together - wouldn't that be amazing! Thank you!
Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteHow adorable David is and what a joy that he is crawling! I know that your mother's heart must be aching that he is not with you right now. I will continue to pray that the children and their passports be RELEASED in Jesus' name!
Awo
HI Cheryl! I am praying for you guys....I have no idea what words you want to hear except that we are praying!
ReplyDeleteRegarding the passports, I am glad you are re-filing. We were unable to ever find Kwame's file either so our coordinator refiled with a certified copy of a birth certificate. It didn't take more than a couple of days to get the extra copy of the birth certificate, as an FYI. Not sure if your son was born in a different region or if it would make a difference, but I thought I would share.
Warring in the Heavens for the RELEASE of buried documents, praying for the SURFACING of missing items, for workers to SEE things with new eyes! (for you and all who are Caught in the govt spin of office politics!) Can not wait to see you all together as a family!
