VISA APPROVED!

Solomon's visa was approved this morning without incident. 

This. Happened. 

God fought for us.

HE WINS!!!!!

Please take a moment to pause and do a jig of praise.

Happy screams are also allowed. 

AAAAHHHH!!!

Visas are not printed until Friday so we won't be leaving right away, but the interview this morning was the last great red-taped hoop to jump. WHEEHOOO!!! We *would* leave first thing on Friday, but the orphanage administration has said that they no longer want to facilitate visits on weekends so we wouldn't see Solomon until Monday anyway....

What now?

1. Pray that the visa is, in fact, printed on Friday with no errors. 

2. Pray for good health for us and Solomon with all this crazy travel. 

3. Pray that God provides as He already has so so so many times. Plane tickets are SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than we estimated. Its high season for travel and we are about $4000 short for what our original plans cost. That's eeeeasy for God when He's already provided the other thousands of dollars we've needed!!!

We are still working with our fabulous travel agent to find better options, but it looks like we'll be leaving Sacramento on Tuesday, 7/23 and returning home on Sunday, 7/28.

4. Pray for the many other families trudging through the adoption process in Ghana. Things are tough there. These families need prayers of encouragement!!!

Thank you for partnering with us....God is so good. We can hardly wait to hold our boy and not have to EVER give him back.
