One year ago today (September 22) we officially began our adoption journey. It was on this date we decided to seek God's will to find an agency to bring our forever family together. God quickly led us to All God's Children International. We had spent seven years thinking our child was state side. God had and continued to close those doors, but He showed clearly the path He had for us in international adoption. Dusty and I both knew Burundi was the place where our little one was as soon we saw Burundi on the website.
In December, we applied to AGCI and began the journey through paperwork. This process is not for the faint of heart. It can be very taxing on your mind and heart. God was beyond faithful as we made our way through it all, one page at a time. As we await one final letter to complete our dossier, everything else has been in Burundi being translated. Our I-800a has taken longer than we had expected, based on the return rate of others before we mailed ours. We have been faithfully praying God will ensure our paperwork arrives when the little one He has ordained for us has his paperwork ready. We know the wait time is God controlling timing in a way we may never understand. We have faith He is orchestrating every micro second. We could not be at this point in our journey without the overwhelming support of our family and friends. We can't thank you enough for your love and support. And we can't wait for our little man to know what it feels like to be loved and supported by all of you. We know God's timing is perfect. He has whispered, "be ready for the next step" at every point of this process. Our prayer is that next September 22nd our post is an update of our new life as a family of five!
