Clarifications

For a few that have asked me off "blog-land" - we do not fall into the catagory of "expedited cases" per the post earlier this week from the USCIS and DOS stuff.  So I figured I would just ask and clarify with our agency -

Unfortunately I was right in my thinking.  They are pushing cases of families that have already accepted a referral and been submitted to the courts and system to be processed.  So since we do not have a referral at all yet - we're most likely going to be hit with delays.  However, the US government agencies are really trying to help ET and help with training and other things to help them hire more people to get back up to speed.  Everyone seems very positive about this so its possibly a small set back but hope to get it going again in the future.

Also - I saw some post on one of my yahoo groups that even with 5/day - people aren't too worried they figured they will get a court date by later this summer.  So that's positive outlooks.

continue to keep all of us waiting families in your prayers - but mostly the kids.  Just having to slow things down for them and keep them in the orphanages seems hard.  We ask that people pray that God just looks over them and takes care of them.

Happy Friday night all
