October 26 2004 - slight delays

Just got word today that our dossier has not yet been sent to Texas for the apostille. FCVN's director was stuck in India on an adoption trip week before last, so that has something to do with the delay. It's looking more and more like Christmas when we will get our referral and see a picture of our kids. That means we will leave sometime in mid-January, and be gone till sometime in early - mid March (~ 6-8 weeks) It's all in God's hands. I was just sharing over this past weekend that, because we have absolutely no control whatsoever over this whole process, it has forced us to wait patiently on God's perfect timing. Despite the fact that we firmly believe that being home with our kids by Christmas would have been just peachy, God's timing is always, always better than our simple wants.
