Adoption Update Hawaii 2.5 - I'm Going Tonight

Well y'all, thanks for all the comments over the last 5 days. I'm headed out tonight at 6:40pm to Honolulu. Wanda and baby will be there waiting for me.

Promise to keep updating lots whilst I'm gone. I think we'll be home on the 25th but there are no guarantees in this stuff.

Here's what to pray for:

1. Immigration paperwork - I will send it off today after I get the adoption agency to give it the final once over. It would be really great if it was processed in 7 days, so by next Tuesday.

2. BC Ministry paperwork. We are still waiting for one more form from the hospital in Honolulu before we can process this. A friend is going to take care of receiving that form for me and then taking it to the adoption agency. Same time frame would be great.

3. Pray that we would build the foundation stones of being a family over the next week while we're there.

4. Deals!!! While spending all this time in Hawaii is nice, the bills are piling up. Pray that the hotel will give us a great deal when we tell them our full story.


Thank you all for sharing this with us and especially with me. I've really needed all of you over these last five days. Talk to you soon!!!

We continue to think of you daily and know that the God who opened these doors at just the right time will also have His perfect timing in all those other areas as well. Can't wait to hear more from you. Aloha!

All three of you will be in our thoughts and prayers. Every morning when we pray before we go to school we always mention your family! :) By the way, what is your baby girl's actual birthday, weight etc.? (Just wondering...)
Have a great trip!
Love, Daleena

We are so excited for you guys as you become a family of 3. We'll definitely be praying. Can't wait to hear the name! Personally, I like Aslin or Marleigh. Say hi to Wanda for me.

Congrats to you three! She's beautiful. May the Lord continue to bless you and direct all the hands and paper work that need to be processed to allow you to come back home. May this be the perfect situation to allow you three to bond and celebrate your new family. As always in the Fathers hands. Love and Hugs to you three. Love the Block family from home.
