A little help from my friends

Anyone who has been through an adoption can tell you it is a long process and you most certainly can't do it alone.  We knew this going in, and expected red tape, meeting individuals along the way that were not so eager to help. We are so blessed that this has not been the case. We received our immigration approval this week! The last official paper to add to all of the other papers we've gathered over the last 5 months. Today I went to the OK Capitol to have all of these documents authenticated by the Secretary of State. It's been a while since I've been there and there were no field trips going on so it felt like I was the only one there and I just got to enjoy and reflect. 

Even in a big government agency, everyone was so friendly and wonderful to work with, from the security guard to the secretary, to the custodian in the hall. I have truly felt God with us in every step. Next all of our paperwork has to go to the chinese consulate in Houston. Then hopefully by the month we will be Dossier to China!
