"V" isn't going to be Italian!

"V" isn't going to be Italian! That was great news to us. God protected him for now. This was some confirmation that we needed to see. We wanted to make sure God's hand was still in this process and that we should continue to pursue this adoption.

There is more drama for today though. I glanced at the paperwork we did yesterday and found another error UGH!! It said my passport expired in August, 2007. It should be 2017. This is sooooo frustrating. We already had it notarized and sent it to be appostilled, yesterday. Our agency caught it in Sacramento before it was done and she will hold it until the new document gets there tomorrow. Glad we caught it before it was in Ukraine. Bottom line is if SDA is looking for an error, they will find one. No matter how hard we try not to make a mistake it seems there is always something. There are so many documents to be done. God has to be in this or it is just going to be futile.

Kevin is completely drained and physically feeling it. Please uplift him in your prayers.

Another verse from my friend and fellow blogger "Beautiful Journey" Stephanie:
Galatians 4:4. It starts off, "but when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son...so that we might receive adoptions as sons." 'Fullness of time' means at just he right time...at the exact moment when God knew it was right. Let this encourage you that in the 'fullness of time' God will let this adoption come through. It might be crazy and the timing may look like anything but right, but I'm praying that God will give you such calm assurance that you will continue to see His might hand showing strong on your behalf.

Thanks Stephanie, you have been a big encouragement to us.
