Building Families Through The Miracle Of Adoption

Jul 22, 2008

Immigration Attorney~ Keep the prayers coming!

We feel confident we have hired the BEST person to fight this fight...well, if our Gov. would tell us what they want other than the "birth" parents!!! "PROVE she is an orphan" HELLO, I am no brain surgeon but if you swim in the ocean 24 hours a day you are probably a fish or a whale or a dolphin...Halle Grace has been in the orphanage her entire life... so what would you call her? AN ORPHAN!!! What happened to common sense? Did I miss something?

I am physically, mentally, emotionally and now with the immigration attorney, financially drained! LOL! PLEASE PRAY!

Congressman McHenry continues to be a HUGE advocate for our family and the 40+ other families who are fighting to bring their children home! If you see him or have a chance to vote for him, DO! He sincerely cares about his people!

Today Jason made contacts and is using his military connections to help with the chain of command! We need to know who answers to who? He sent a clarification email to the USCIS in HCM and they had an automatic "out of office" reply...stating that due to the high volume, it may take up to three days to respond! OK, DOES THAT MEAN WE GET 3 EXTRA DAYS ON OUR TIMELINE THAT CANNOT BE EXTENDED WITH THE RFE? Boy, they are not on our side. THEY HAVE NEVER REPLIED TO US DURING THIS ENTIRE PROCESS! Not acceptible and incredibly UNPROFESSIONAL in my opinion!

My adoption support group "THE HOT HENS" are keeping me going and keeping my spirits up! I don't know what I would do without you guys! I know you read here so THANK YOU! Keep those beaks and claws sharp and let's bring our babies home!

Please continue to pray for this battle! We have not received an update on Halle Grace lately! It is heartbreaking to see her grow up in photos...knowing our gov. is keeping us seperated and wondering, what if they don't allow her to come home and just send her to another family in Europe? OH MY, I must remain optimistic and stop this other mess! God is in control and He will not give us more than we can handle! When you talk to HIM, please tell Him the TQ families are feeling a bit overwhelmed! lol. Hey, if He can part the red sea, he can move heart strings of certain officials to do what is best for these children...BRING THEM HOME!

God Bless
