A faith journey

At this point, we still do not have US approval to bring Kalina home with us. The reports from "man" are discouraging. Yesterday we were told that it might be impossible to complete the US requirements and get clearance before our plane leaves on Friday. Today we learned that we will most likely be able to leave for Bangladesh on Friday, but the final approval to return to the US may not come for a long period of time. We're on a challenging path. When God first put in our hearts to adopt from Bangladesh last fall, it appeared to be impossible. There are no adoption agencies that work there, and you must be a citizen of Bangladesh in order to adopt one of their children. Later in the fall, we learned that Nadeem has dual citizenship with the US and Bangladesh-at least in the eyes of Bangladesh-since Nadeem's grandfather used to be the ambassador there. Nadeem has never lived in Bangladesh, so we had no idea that this was the case! God started to open doors for us and show us the way. We know that this is God's plan, and we know that He'll complete it. Please continue to pray for us and for Kalina!
"With man this is inpossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." -Mark 10:27
