Please pray!!!

One of the things that we have to have done before we can get our baby is to be fingerprinted by the federal government. Well, in NC there is only one office and they are evidently very backed up...On Tuesday we got our letter with our appointment date. Our appointment is set for June 7th! Ugh!! That is a really, really long wait for an appointment. Most states give you a date within a week or two. While this is probably not a big deal, it is possible that we could have a referral (where we are matched with our baby) and wouldn't be able to actually get our baby because our fingerprints wouldn't have yet gone through. (After we are fingerprinted it could take a few weeks before they are processed, we are notified of our acceptance, etc...) SO, I am asking any of you reading this to PLEASE PRAY! I have contacted the wonderful lady that I used to work for who is now in the Congress and she and her staff are working very hard to see if we can be given permission for an earlier appointment. I will keep you posted!! Please pray that they will find favor with the Immigration agency and that we will be able to be fingerprinted earlier! Thank you for your love and prayers!!!
