Prayer Request

In the words of my friend Adrianne we need everyone to "get their pray on". Everything up to this point has gone remarkably well. This morning however things changed a bit. Apparently there was a background check that should have been started in Rwanda. This was not done and no one knew it until we arrived at the embassy this morning to get our visas. The visas cannot be issued until the background check is complete. This could be completed as early as Thursday or not until as late as Tuesday a week from now. This has been a very wonderful but also very long, emotional trip. We are all anxious to get back home to our kids and to introduce our new children to our families. So at this point we are requesting for everyone to pray that we get our visas at least by Friday morning so that we can all make our flights back home Friday afternoon. We are so thankful for the way God has worked and taken care of all of us thus far. I know He will continue to do so.

  1. I am so sorry to hear this and I don't understand why they require it in Kenya or why they repeat all the bloodwork. They are supposed to be following the US immigration guidelines. In Ethiopia we never had to redo bloodwork or our background check as you have to do your background check to get your I-171H approval in the first place. I don't want to worry you guys but there was a issue with the background check for one of the private adoption families going through Kenya in December and she was stuck there awhile. I think you guys will have some power in numbers though!
