Soon, soon enough!
We have received our green-light paperwork from the U.S. government, as well as, our document needed to have our post-Rwanda exit interview in Nairobi on our way back to the U.S. That's where your child(ren) has a complete medical check-up and the finalization of adoption paperwork is completed.
Just as soon as that arrived, we learned that our dear brother in Christ, Geoffrey Kayigi, was coming to the States for training in Washington, D.C. So, the day after we moved, I drove down to the Rwandan Embassy, picked up our dossier, photocopied every page twice, and went to meet Geoffrey. We hadn't seen one another since 2007, and I just cried for joy when I saw him. We grabbed some dinner, caught up on all things family, job, church and nation-related, and then I handed him our dossier. He took it home immediately and passed it off to Rafiki Johnson, our long-time driver, friend of our ministry there and son. He immediately took a copy to our attorney and the originals to MIGEPROF, the Ministry of Gender and Promotion of Families. He also met with our attorney, who reported back that we have a very fine set of documents to work with. This was all very spontaneous and unplanned on our parts! We had no idea Geoffrey would be in the U.S. until the week before he arrived. All of the paperwork was finished being processed at coincidentally the same time!
So, now, our hearts wait to hear what to do next. Do we fly to Rwanda and bring someone home that we pick out....? OR, do we wait for the Ministry Office to identify a child(ren) for us?
We are really in need of LOTS of finances to bring this all about, so please pray for us to see those doors of provision fly open at just the right time. We have NO DOUBT that God will do this for us, because He has been so incredibly faithful to us FOREVER already.
