Answer to Prayer

We had our appointment at the Embassy this morning, and praise God it appears that it could not have gone better. When we began to explain to K&W about the meeting and what might be expected, they both responded with joy "We coming to America!".
In order for the visa to be processed, we needed to meet with her, have the medical information delivered from the doctor, and have the birth mother come for the the appointment as well. After a brief wait, we were called in to meet with the Consolar herself (which is not typical). She was kind, wonderful and very thorough and indicated that the paperwork is in order - we just needed the medical information from the doctor and the mother was not yet here. We returned to sit in the waiting room praying for about an hour, when the doctor arrived to deliver the medical paperwork (Thank God - one more to go). We waited for the mother for an hour or so, when we were told that we should leave and maybe come back in the afternoon. This was very disappointing, as we were so close to have everything done in one visit (again, very atypical). We left the embassy and were preparing to cross the street, when the birth mother came running across the street oward us, greeted the social worker and the children and introduced herself to us. She was very kind but this felt quite awkward. She and the social worker went back into the embassy to meet with the consolur, and we understand that meeting went very well. We are now just waiting for the visas to be processed and delivered to us. God has been so good to us, and demonstrated His provision and Sovereignty through this, our biggest step to date. Your prayers are felt - please keep praying!
