Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Can you all hear that????!!! 
That's the sound of the clock ticking for D and W to come HOME!!  We have officially entered USCIS (Customs and Immigration).  We couldn't be more excited!!  We should have our girls home in approximately 6-8 weeks!!!!  Yep, you read that right...... 6 to 8 weeks!!

The Steps Left:
The fine people at USCIS will comb over our girls files and make sure everything is needed. 
At the same time this step is happening, we should receive the girls passports.  We have been in this step for two weeks and are anxiously awaiting the word that they are ready for pick up!! 
USCIS will then either say we are completed or ask for more documents.
After USCIS approval, we wait for the Visa's to be printed and then we get the green light to travel.

We are still a go for taking the whole crew.  Much chatter happened today about what would be taken and what there just wasn't room to take in suitcases!  It was exciting to hear them plan about what the country would be like, how hot it would be, and what to expect with their new sisters!  I am still pinching myself about this happening.

Our two biggest prayer requests:
**Our youngest daughter has had some health concerns that we are asking prayer for.  We need her little body to hold up awhile longer until we can get her home to some specialists.  Please pray healing for her and for the right people to have compassion on her case to rush her through.

**Prayer for the girls to be brave - they are leaving so much and it will be quite scary to leave everything they know!  They have to have a lot of trust in us and hopefully we have built enough trust to calm their little hearts the minute we take them from the orphanage.
