Last week, we finally got the go-ahead to mail in our passports and apply for our visas. We received the letter of invitation that we needed from the Ministry of Education, and that was a big answer to prayer! So we filled out our visa applications and mailed everything in from the road.
The agency helping us with our visas forwarded everything on to the consulate in California. We are still waiting to hear if they will grant our request for adoption visas. (Of course, it's a holiday weekend!) Until we know for sure, we have been advised to hold off on buying our plane tickets. But it seems like everyone involved believes we will get the visas.
Hopefully we'll hear something new tomorrow. Of course, we'll be spending much of the day in airports and on planes. Our hope is to hear definite news tomorrow and then book our plane tickets on Wednesday. I have confidence that God will not be late in answering our prayers, but He might choose to be very last-minute!
It's amazing to think that a week from today we will be in the air on the way to see our son again and bring him home forever!
