We Exited MOI!!!

As soon as I read the email from our agency entitled, Good News Monday!!, I started shouting and crying and thanking Jesus: 

So it is good news Monday... drum roll please…

You are out of MOI!!!

After only a few weeks in this phase of our adoption, we exited MOI!!!  
God did it!!!
Say with me, "God Did It!!!"

Selah heard my ruckus, so I shared the news with her.  She started squealing and shouting and doing a silly dance.  I called Eric, but wasn't able to reach him, so Selah and I praised God some more, jumped, shouted and danced all around the house.  In a few minutes, I finally connected with Eric and shared the news with him.  Eric joined in our happy celebration.

This is REAL, people.  After more than 3 years of seeking our precious Wisly, we are finally in the HOME STRETCH.  Eeeeeekkkk!!! :)  So what happens next?  Here are the remaining steps to our process as explained by our agency:

~~Wisly's passport will be printed and issued (2-3 weeks?)

~~Our entire adoption file gets translated into English (1-2 weeks?)

~~Our translated file gets submitted to USCIS (U.S. Immigration) for final I-600 approval (approx. 6 weeks)

These last few steps are completed in a matter of days:

~~Our file is transferred to the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in Haiti.

~~The embassy issues Wisly's VISA appointment.

~~Wisly has his Visa medical exam.

~~Creche staff attends the VISA appointment on our behalf....and we start planning to travel!

~~VISA is approved!

~~Our VISA packet is taken to IBESR for the travel document /approval...and IBESR issues our travel document and...

~~We fly to Haiti to bring Wisly home!!!

PEOPLE...he might even be home by the end of June!!!

One of our big prayer requests at this point is Protection of Our Paperwork.  Seriously.

Passports have been known to have typos,,,various documents can get misplaced,,,dates on paperwork can be wrong.  Any of these issues can cause several weeks delay to the process.  Please pray for God's protection over Wisly's passport printing and our entire adoption file.

Of course, we appreciate your continued prayers for God's preparation of Wisly's heart and for our readiness to welcome him into our home and family.

~Much Love!
