Well...4-6 more months (they say)

For those of you who haven't heard, we are nearing the end of our adoption road :) WooHoo. We have been told to expect 4-6 more months of waiting. I know what your thinking...that's a long time. But, when you compare 4-6 months to the 18 months we've been in the process, 4-6 is short!! However, we also understanding that with Haiti 4-6 months really doesn't mean a whole lot. It could be more but it could be LESS! We are praying for the 4-6 month window!!

Phillip has an appointment at the Embassy in Haiti on Sept. 28 at 8am. Begin praying now that this will be smooth and worry-free. Phillip will be signing the necessary paperwork for Jack's visa that will make him a US Citizen upon entry into America. My understanding is that as soon as his feet his the ground in Miami, Jack will be a US Citizen. Yes!!! My heart is jumping with excitement just thinking about that moment! He will make this journey alone. My portion of the paperwork is signed here and notarized and he just takes that with him.

Another piece of news (not so happy) is that Jack has been diagnosed with Typhiod Fever. He is receiving the proper treatment and is on the mend. A medical team arrived Wednesday. Isn't God's timing always perfect!!!!  He looks to have lost some weight and eyes aren't bright but thankful he's on the mend. He's being well taken care of by the staff and volunteers. I'm so thankful for them.

Keep praying with us! We are so close to having him home!!!!!!! God continues to remind us of how faithful He is and how much He cares for Jack and Emma!

God has given Emma a unique sense of peace with Jack's sickness and her prayers for him have brought tears to my eyes. She is priceless! She is so ready to meet Jack and love on him. She already has a love for him that totally blows my mind. I know how much Phillip and I love him but to hear her excitement and joy is a gift indeed!

I'll update more after the appointment, unless news arrives. Thanks for keeping up with our crazy lives!
