Still waiting

We are back in the waiting game.  We are waiting for USCIS to approve our I800 and send our pre-approval to Claudia's country so they can get moving to issue the Article 5 and tell us when we can go get her.  In the mean time please check out our auction which is in full swing!  It has a  few weeks to go still but there are several items without bids still.  Get your Christmas shopping started early :)

The auction is on Facebook, just type your bid into the comments section.

Still waiting...

We are still waiting on our referral packet to arrive.  Last we heard, it should be translated by now and on its way to our agency.  We are hoping to have it this week, but that may not happen.  Things are looking more and more bleak for Claudia to be home this year.  This is very tough on us but we know that everything will happen according to God's perfect timing, so we wait and trust in Him.

You may have noticed that we took down the Chip-in for Claudia's quilt.  Why?  We did not see any progress with it.  We understand that it was not a fundraiser to get her home and there was little in it for you so we decided to call it quits.  BUT  Brenda and Emily and so super sweet that they donated the quilt to us anyway!  What a beauty it is.  Not only is it gorgeous but the lining is super soft, perfect for a child.  So without further adieu, here is Claudia's beautiful quilt:

The lovely packaged quilt
 
 


 
 


I wish I had better lighting to do this quilt justice.  I assure you it is masterfully made, excellent quality.  I urge you go to their Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/masterpiecequilts and browse the available quilts.  These would make an amazing Christmas gift for a loved one!  Also, visit their website: http://masterpiecequilts.com/ to learn more about this Mother and Daughter team.  They are amazing. 

We will keep on waiting and update you when we have news.  Please keep us in your prayers as we wait and pray that the funding  will come in as we need it.
