It is with sadness that I write, we will not be coming home with our little McCaule. The dhs portion of the embassy not only did not pass our file over to the visa division once the I-72 was corrected, but they have now notified us that our file is under investigation. Please pray that they Lord would soften the heart of the one in charge who is calling the shots. She is not an American but a Guatemalan placed in this place of power and she wields it. My heart hurts for her.
We are also now forced to renew our fingerprints once again. The good news is that we began the process before we left and now wait to get the go ahead.
The wonderful news is that we are bringing home our little McKelle. Of the two, we can see the Lord's blessing in granting her release as she is the needier of the two. We were blessed to celebrate her 2nd birthday here and share some special memories with both girls. Today we journeyed to a market to purchased special paper mache' dolls that are dressed in clothing reflective of the area from which they were born. The Lord also gave us special new friends who have cared for us. It is wonderful to see the body of Christ working together even abroad.
The Lord has stretched us in ways we would never have dreamed and been faithful to us and showing us that He indeed is in control of all things and for His glory and our good. It has helped us be even more Christ focused and may God be forever praised for that. I would have never personally chosen this outcome, but then I am not sovereign or all-knowing.
We are looking forward to our trip home and the graduation of our daughter from home school on Friday evening. His timing is perfect.

I pray for all of your saddened hearts as you wait. Thanks for updating. Enjoy your weekend with your family and God Bless all of you!!!!!
I cried when I read your post. Happy and sad at the same time. Praying for you.
I too praise the Lord that Mckelle is coming home. I am sad that McCaule is not able to come home yet. However, I trust God and His plan. It still doesn't change that we are still in a body of flesh and I know you must ache at having to leave McCaule behind not knowing how long they will spend on the investigation. I will lift you all up in prayer and ask the Lord to move on the hearts of those in control. May he be near to you and give you a peace that passes all understanding.
In Jesus,
