So what is happening with Isaac's adoption?

Someone recently suggested keeping the blog up to date with the news about Isaac's adoption.  If only I had something to update!  At this point (and really many points) all that is going on is WAITING. 

We are STILL waiting on the Supplement 3 to the i800a to be updated.  This was supposed to be a fairly simple step.  Alas, nothing this time around has been as easy as predicted.  We are past the amount of time it took with the Little Princesses when their entire i800a had been approved - and theirs required three of us getting biometrics done downtown (fingerprinting). 

Our form arrived in the lockbox on September 4, and our agent confirmed it on her desk as of September 16.  I assumed that approval would happen within a few days of hitting her desk as that is what is pretty typical.  When I inquired this week I was told there was no news yet, and she'd keep me posted.

It is hard to wait.  The wait gets harder when it passes the amount of time that was expected.  I keep reminding myself that God has His own time table and it is often not mine!  I am also taking comfort in the fact that our boy is in a good foster home, able to attend school for the first time in his life, and is likely having a ball with his foster brother.  I'm at least imagining that the wait isn't as hard on him as it is on this Mama's heart.
