Last Application Sent - (I-800)

Good news! We got the rest of the needed paperwork from Colombia yesterday. We read Gabriela's official referral, in English! (that's what we were waiting for). It was emotional, but so great to read the words, "Dear Mr. and Mrs. VanAcker, We are happy to tell you there is a little girl for you, her name is Gabriela Liliana, she was born on February 07, 2008." Our last step/application was sent to US immigration this afternoon. Our officer is waiting for it and as soon as she is finished we will have provisional approval to travel!

Gabriela is doing much better. She hasn't needed extra oxygen for a few days now. We got to see her over Skype yesterday. We are counting the days until we can meet her in person. Thank you so much for praying.
