Round 2...

... of paperwork that is. We have been busy getting together updated verifications of our employment, and another letter from the Doctor stating we are still in excellent health, for our Updated Homestudy. We received 3 copies of the Homestudy. One for Immigration, one to bring to China and one for our records. When I went to City Hall, I purchased 2 copies of birth and marriage certificates. I am so prepared. We had to refile with the U.S. Immigration Office(by November 4). We had to submit all the paperwork as if it was a new application. Even though this journey has taken much long than we can imagine, we can't imagine ourselves not on it. We truly know in our hearts that this is where the Lord has led us and what we are meant to do. We know in our hearts that we are already connected to a miracle in China and nothing, not even the duplicate paperwork can break that thread that holds us together. When our paperwork was logged in in China referrals of the child you were matched to was taking about 7 months. We were told to be prepared for an increase to 12 months. They lastest group of families had waited 22 months!
