GLORY TO GOD!

Last night Nadeem prayed for three things: a good night's sleep, good dreams, and a sign of hope from God. We had the best night's sleep we've had here since getting Kalina, we both had wonderful dreams, and we have a HUGE SIGN OF HOPE! Suddenly today our attorney's paralegal who is assigned to our case reached a man named John at the USCIS in Atlanta. The original lady we've been trying to reach has been too busy to answer us, so this man is now helping. He said that he doesn't have the authority to approve our fingerprints being taken here, but he will present our case to the decision making body. Meanwhile, the paralegal contacted our wonderful advocate at Senator Chambliss' office, Jennifer Hayes, who told her that she has already secured approval from Atlanta for us to have our fingerprints taken here in Bangladesh! We're now trying to get this in writing to make sure that the US Embassy here knows that they can take our fingerprints. They're closed for the Eid holiday but will reopen on Sunday.
"Not one of all the promises the Lord your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled." -Joshua 23:14
What God has already done:
*called us to go to Bangladesh to adopt a child even though there are no adoption agencies that work in Bangladesh
*enabled us to adopt here in a country where you must be a citizen....we learned that Nadeem in fact has dual citizenship as a result of being a citizen through his grandfather the former ambassador from Bangladesh
*gave us "no Visa required" to Bangladesh on our passports-free entry for life
*sent Hasan's mom into our lives-she found the orphanage run by nuns and the magistrate
*told us to get a baby girl
*confirmed Kalina's name
*gave us her middle name, Moriah
*enabled us to live on one paycheck to save for the adoption
*gave us victory at the court with me dressed in the burka and Nadeem speaking Bangla
*gave us Kalina
What God is going to do:
*BRING US HOME!
