We received our CIS approval Wednesday! It was such an extra blessing to receive it the day before Thanksgiving. I've been saying since we began the paperwork that it would be awesome to have it wrapped up by Thanksgiving- but feeling complete peace with God's timing. Well, it was the day before Thanksgiving and our last piece of paperwork arrived! We took it all to Raleigh to have it authenticated yesterday. It was a marathon of a day- beginning at 5am and finishing everything up last night about 10pm. Right as we were finishing our friend Jessica called to say she was dropping something by. Turned out to be a bag of Starbucks' Ethiopian blend! Such a sweet friend and treat at the end of the long paperchase. Everything was FedExed to our caseworker this morning- we'll be on the waitlist soon!


Sorting it all and triple checking everything!
