It worked!!

YES!! Our senators really are for us! We found out Tuesday that their would be a briefing in DC on Wednesday advocating for IR4 visas (what we will need for babyu) to be issued again. TODAY, only 24 hours later the State Department issued this notice. We thank God! WOW. I am amazed. I really can't stop smiling. I never thought it would happen so fast. I thought the meeting yesterday would start new conversations and we would still have to wait weeks. This all started on Feb. 3 so unfortunately, we are getting used to waiting. Not really but it has been a LONG time. Especially for the families that have been in country the entire time!

Maybe I should be cautious. But I am so tired of being cautious. I am so tired of guarding my heart. I just want to enjoy and celebrate the news!! What this really means is that the Consulate will be issuing visas for legal guardianship's as long as the rulings contain the "correct wording" (which our lawyer always asks for) as long as all other investigations and documentation deem the child adoptable.

This is exactly what we have been waiting for! It will really be great when we see those visas issued for the some 21 families in country waiting. And then their sweet homecomings. oh, I can't wait!! Hoping and praying it happens in the next few days!!

Now, if only we could locate our home study...seriously, still looking...

(it is not lost in our home but somewhere in the USCIS world...)
