Shocked, I went immediately to the in-box where I confirmed the arrival of an e-mail from the USCIS office! Would never have guessed that they would send out an e-mail on the weekend.
Good news!! The officer who I planned on reminding this week that our I-600 a fingerprints were now expired wrote to let us know he'd requested the prints to be 'refreshed' !
Yeah!! This should not take very long as the gal at the Embassy said it should only be a couple of weeks during the holidays for this to occur....[she also said she would send in the request but didn't!]
Also heard of a non-prematched referral last week from a family who waited 15 months in IBESR.
My brain reminds me that with the uniqueness of each case comparisons cannot be made, should not be made.
But my heart does the math and whispers that if IBESR were working oldest cases to newer cases and we've waited almost 13 months then......
Trying to keep my hopes and prayers centered on His will and not skipping rapidly ahead of what ifs can be hard.
Today I asked our agency for some needed financial information for Eli's college financial aid applications.
Now trying not to read too much into the information we received...but my hopes have soared away like a kite in a strong wind and I'm having a hard time pulling them back down to ground level.
Then on the heels of the first e-mail [within 10 minutes] we get a general one from our agency sadly letting us know they will no longer be working in Haiti due to many factors. They will continue to work with us on our adoption if we want to stay with them.
Up and down; round and round the thoughts and feelings fly. But He remains faithful. He is the rock on which to build our faith. Confidence placed in God is never misplaced or a mistake.
God's timing. God's plan. God's will. God's power. God's way.
