Article 5 Drop off

Received a letter Friday that the NVC had our paperwork. So, upon demands from my sweet friend who is also adopting, I went ahead and called the NVC. I requested that they send me the cable letter via email(Monday). The NVC also let me know that they had our paperwork as of Friday. On Tuesday,my sweet friend, urged me to call again to get the information I needed. I do not like to be pushy, but I knew we have to be in China by April 18. So, I reached out to some friends and had their families and my family pray at the same time that whoever answered my call would have empathy and would give us what we needed. After 30 minutes of being on hold, a man answered the phone. He said, how can I help you. I told him what I needed and he said do you have pen and paper? I couldn't believe it! What an awesome God who listens and answers prayers. I stayed up late filling out paperwork. Then, at 4:00 this morning I realized I didn't ask for our PDF. Ugh! So all day I kept starring at the screen and hitting refresh on my email. I asked for more prayers. Around one o'clock I got the email! I immediately sent it to my social worker. By 3:30 she had sent me an email saying our Article 5 was sent to China and will be dropped off tomorrow! Now we are waiting for pick up of article 5. Next will be Travel approval and then Consulate Approval. This will put us in China around April 16th. So exciting!!! Please pray that we get there before April 18th and for the boys. So much to do! And so much to be thankful for!!!!
