The Tuesday Ten

Ten Things that are causing stress for Zack & me (probably the reason I only slept a few hours last night)...
  1. We are still waiting on our INS approval
  2. Our INS approval has not arrived
  3. Our INS approval is not in our mailbox, or in our house, or on its way to Ukraine
  4. The mailman keeps passing by without delivering our INS approval
  5. We can't mail our INS approval to Ukraine, because
  6. We don't have our INS approval
  7. Our INS approval is the only thing missing from our dossier
  8. The government still hasn't sent us our INS approval
  9. Without our INS approval, we can't submit our dossier to SDA
  10. We need our INS approval!!!

We really need your prayers right now. There is a chance that our facilitator could submit our dossier sooner than originally anticipated if we can just get the approval to her ASAP...

Zack and Jennifer,
I am praying, praying, praying!!!! Oh how this seems so familiar to me! All the hurry up and wait. Just wait till you get to Ukraine......LOTS of hurry up and waiting going on :) Yes, it is all in God's timing, but how cool would it be to get that letter in the mail today??? :) You never know! Ukrainian adoption is such a rollercoaster ride isn't it?

By the way, isn't there a way to check the status on you INS approval either by phone or e-mail?

Good Luck and God Bless,

So, are you trying to tell us that you need your INS approval? :-)

I'm praying and I'm telling everyone I can think of to pray as well.

Little Guy is going to get here right on schedule.

Love y'all,

Aunt Bonnie

We will just have to pray it in. It's on it's way..I just know it. Now is the time to just say "OK Lord, we've done our best so the rest is in your hands" Easy for me to say, right? Hang in there and try to get some rest. You're going to need all that energy when that little guy gets here. Can't wait. I know my big brother will make a great PAPA! Love ya'll.

At least you've got a sense of humor about it :)

You're in the thoughts and prayers of the Quesnel family. I'm sure it'll arrive soon enough and everything will fall into place. You'll have him home before you know it...

I was just telling my Ukranian friend Lyala about you a few minutes ago! She wishes you all the best!
I know your mailman will bring good news soon!
Praying for you,
Julie

I'm on pins and needles too. We have to trust God to do everything in His timing. We've got to hold onto that and know that L.G. will be here when he is supposed to. As you know, I've got all sorts of people praying for this approval letter to arrive asap. Hang in there. Ya'll are learning patience throughout this process. Believe me, as parents, yall will need lots of it. :-)
We love yall, Mom and Tommy :-))

Zack & Jennifer,
We are praying for your mail delivery! Hang in there and know that God already knows where it is, when it will be delivered, and each step that you will take every moment because THE STEPS OF A GOOD MAN ARE ORDERED BY THE LORD!!

Lots of Love and prayers,
