Adoption Process Update

The way we understand things, we have 3 steps that need to be completed before we can get Gabi's visa and bring her home. Each step requires a different person in the court system to sign or approve that step. Each person has a certain amount of time to complete their step (up to 10 days). We hope to hear something about step 1 this week. In the meantime, we are staying busy and growing as a family. We are enjoying our time here (for the most part!) and looking for ways that God would use this time for His glory. This week we look forward to a tour of FANA and seeing where Gabi spent the first 3 years of her life.

Prayer request: Overall, Gabi is doing very well and we just love having her! One area that I continue to pray about is her sleep. She sleeps very well once she is asleep, but getting her to fall asleep at bedtime has been a challenge. She seems comfortable and is not upset, but she just can't fall asleep it seems. It has been taking 1-2 hours many nights. As I lay there with her I have been asking God for wisdom as to how best to help her. Staying up until 9:30-10pm is not good for her (especially when she gets up at 5:30 sometimes!) and it is getting hard for me as well.
