OUT OF MOI!!!!!

Back on May 14, I entered a step that makes adoptive parents feel like "my child will be home soon!!!!"  So I have had a really hard May, June and July, as my child is NOT home and I was in this step for 11 weeks.  MOI (Ministry of the Interior) is where the passport is applied for.  Lots of other things happen as well.....complete, thorough examination of EVERYTHING.

On Wednesday, July 31, as I was sitting at a camp with basically no internet or phone service, an email came in.  It was the message I have been praying for!!!!  "Great news for Jenny Kraft!  M's file has come out of MOI and will be submitted to Immigration tomorrow for passport printing."  

I hesitate to give a time frame, but typically the passport is printed in about two weeks. There are then maybe 4-6 weeks of time where the US side of things are occurring.  The VISA will be applied for.  There will be a VISA interview.  After this interview happens and the VISA in in hand, then I can go get him!  These are still two pretty big steps so please continue to pray that we move through them swiftly and he can be home this fall!!!!!

I also received my July update this day.  Mackenley has begun school!  He loves it!  He also has a pretty remarkable gift and this is that he knows the name of everyone, all the kids and all of the staff!  It was a day filled with GREAT news!!!!!!

CAN'T WAIT TO HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS!!!!!
