Fingerprinted!

Today we were fingerprinted-- nothing too exciting, but it puts us one step closer. Once our fingerprints are processed, we should receive US immigration approval. We are praying that we receive this sometime within the next week or 2 (honestly, I am praying it happens by the end of this week!)

Please pray for guidance for us as we are in the process of applying for grants. There are 3 grant applications that we are trying to finish and get in the mail. These are time consuming, so pray that God will lead us to fill out ones that we actually have a shot at receiving. I just submitted a grant application today which is through our adoption agency. We should hear within the next 2 months if we will receive any monies from them. We are trusting God to provide.

We have officially chosen a name for the little boy we have been calling Jonathan. Yes, we had to choose this already as paperwork is starting to be done to make him officially a Shafer. We will post his official name very soon!
