We are one step closer to bringing this little guy home!!!!
Yep, got a CALL this morning from USCIS (didn't pick up the UNKNOWN CALLER 'cuz I figured it was J*Jill wanting me to come and get my last minute shopping done or something). In fact, it was Melissa from CIS calling to let me know that we have been approved for our adoption and that our I-800A form is in the mail (aka- that last lone form that will complete our dossier thus moving us ahead in the process to go and get Quinn.) She was worried that because of the mail being held on Christmas we wouldn't find out before Christmas. How sweet is that???? I'm pretty sure it was actually an angel of the Lord on the line sending a direct answer to many many prayers as the sweetest Christmas gift EVER. (At least rivaling the Christmas 6 years ago when Steve proposed to me.) Oh, if I didn't love the magical time of Christmas before, this certainly seals the deal.
So, again, things continue to be out of our hands as far as timing goes, but it does seem that God has us on the fast track to bringing our sweet boy home. Thank you, Lord. And thank you friends who have been praying at 1:30 each day with us (if anyone wants to join a small group of my friends who have committed to pray for Quinn each day at 1:30 until he comes home, you are officially invited.) It sure is fun to see God answer.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God rocks!! What an awesome answer to prayer. You asked the Senators office, they said know. The 1:30 group asked God, He said YES! yiippeee! what a privilege to pray for Quinn!
Um, I mean they said "no". what am i retarded or something? sheesh!
E! Best Christmas EVER! Congratulations. I'm so happy and so excited for you guys. I'm sure it's a huge load off your mind to be past this horrible step. Here's to hoping and praying that you get to travel soon.
I read your post, I smiled, I cried, I looked at my watch IT WAS 1:36. Not too late for me to come together with all the other prayers of protection! I realize my prayer life has been more than a tad lazy of late. But I will, in spirit, join everyone who has fallen in love with that sweet Asian angel and ask that he is held tightly in the wings of the Lord until you are able to bring him home to all of us who already love him
