We received wonderful news this morning!
The US Consulate in Guangzhou has issued our Article 5!
Receiving our Article 5 means the US Consulate has reviewed Logan's visa application, made sure it met the qualifications for an immigrant visa and
has signed off that everything is in order for our adoption to be completed!
It was really important that we received our Article 5 today because the US Consulate in Guangzhou will be closed between July 15 and July 23 as they move their offices to a new location.
We needed to have our paperwork submitted and processed by today, otherwise we would have been caught in the delay of the move and our adoption process would be on hold.
But God is good and our journey continues!
Next stop, Travel Approval!
We now wait for our adoption agency to schedule Logan's visa appointment and for the agency to receive our travel approval from China!
This last step was a real nail-biter.
But a curve ball every now and then helps draw us closer
to the One who is truly in control of this journey.
The One whispering that constant reminder
that we so desperately need, "trust".
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6
This is great news! Praise God!
