HUGE step!

We found out today that the parent/guardian interview took place as scheduled on 9/4/14. Both of the girls parents/guardian's arrived and the word is that it "went well"! HOORAY!! This is a huge step. Nothing official, just a portal message at this point. Waiting for the legal papers from the US immigration, then it's onto court!

Thanking God for His continued faithfulness...
