We Interrupt This Normally Dreary Adoption Blog...

We have received, according to our orphanage director, our presidential waiver.
We are still in IBESR. We hope to be out very soon. The presidential waiver is a pretty big hurdle.
We needed the presidential waiver because we have biological children and we're under 35.
Our home is rejoicing tonight.
But you, Oh Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. Turn to me and be gracious to me; give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your maidservant. Show me a sign of your favor...
Psalm 86:15-16
