My trip into Dallas

Today I got to drive into Dallas to pick up our Home Study. Yea!!!! The Director went over our next steps and we will be mailing a mound of paperwork down to the Secretary of State to be apostilled and filing our I-600A on Monday. None of this probably sounds very interesting or even understandable, but trust me when I say this is very exciting and will open up the door to our actual dossier. Yea again!!!! Once we get our paperwork back from Austin we will forward it onto our actual agency who will then in turn forward it onto Russia. From there we will be assigned our region, which means we will know where in Russia our daughter will be coming from, even though she won't actually be selected for us yet. Prayer requests: that none of our documents will get lost, postponed, or need a do-over, that all of our documents will be moved through the systems as quickly as possible, and that God will open up doors for us financially as we begin to apply for grants to help fund this adoption.
