Hi again,

So...we've just gotten word that the home visit that we had isn't enough for the American standards. This means that we have to do another home visit :( I hate to say it, but we're feeling a little bit discouraged about it, but we're trying to remember that the Lord is in control. We don't know when this next home visit will be. We are once again in the waiting process. I'll tell ya, when there is a kid involved, it's very hard to wait. Jeremy keeps referring to this process as a pregnancy. He keeps reminding me that pregnancy takes 9 or so months, and there is a lot of waiting in that as well.

Please keep this next home visit in prayer. It's a lot more official I guess, which means more scary...ha ha. Also, there are a lot more steps to do after that as well, such as our criminal record stuff, and more recommendations, and paper work, and so on and so on. All of those things are MUCH harder to get done since we live in another country. Everything has to be sent out to be translated, and then sent back so it can then be resent to where it needs to go. It's going to cost a lot of money to get all of this done too.  Please, please, please be praying! We're feeling a bit overwhelmed right now. But...we know it will all be worth it in the end if we're able to bring home our boy.

Thanks again, and we'll keep you posted.
