Our Dossier is preregistered!

Today is a good day! Our facilitator was able to preregister our Dossier this morning. That means that we are invited to submit next Monday! So it's official, we will submit on Monday, February 2nd. It's so good to know something during this process. The time is coming to rescue Timur. We know that God's timing is the perfect timing! It doesn't mean that I'm patient about it, it just means HE is in control and I am not. He knows when the best time for Timur to join our family. Of course, I would like it to be sooner than later. Please continue to pray for the process of adoption. Please pray that the officials who approve our paperwork will want to offer us a quick travel date. I say quick, which means March instead of April. Our best friends, the Malone's are leaving soon to rescue their boys and I would love for our trips to overlap. What are the chances that best friends would be adopting from the same place, near the same time and get to celebrate together? That is my prayer! Please join me as we continue to fund raise and share our story with others. We are excited to see the hand of God move on behalf of Timur! What a blessing he already is to our family.
Blessings,
Meghan

We are ready to submit!

Wow, I get so excited to even type these words. All of our documents that we have worked on for months are now complete, apostilled and translated. That means we are ready to submit! Our facilitator will submit our Dossier at the first possible moment. I know he is working hard for us and for Timur. He has a passion for these children and wants them rescued as much as we do. I would ask that you join us in prayer. Please pray that he is able to submit ASAP. The sooner our documents are submitted and accepted the sooner we can be invited to travel. Adoption is a process. I am just excited to see it coming to pass. It's just one step at a time. I have to keep reminding myself of that. It's not easy to wait. I am not as patient as I should be. I really "lost it" when Lou sent pictures of herself and her new daughter OUTSIDE the gates of the same orphanage we're going to. I can hardly wait for that to be our family with Timur. What a day that will be, soon and very soon. Thank You for your prayers, kind words and support. I can hardly wait to have him home and share him with so many of you. We are one step closer, Praise God!

Blessings,

Meghan

Our Dossier is Complete!

Our Dossier is complete, Praise the Lord! All of our adoption paperwork is complete, apostilled and approved state side. It has been officially sent to our facilitator in the country we are adopting from to be translated. Once our dossier is translated it will be ready for submission. Our current prayer now is for our documents to be submitted just as soon as they re-open. We have done all we can on this end of the process. God's timing is the perfect timing! We pray his continued protection over Timur and his health. We are excited to rescue him and bring him home were he belongs. 

Blessings,

Meghan
