A New Hope... and a New Need

You've probably been wondering what's going on with my adoption... it's a long story.

Ok, so here is the deal... I have been stuck in immigration for my I800a. For those who do not know what this is, it is the US government giving me permission to adopt. I have submitted twice already, and have been denied both time due to my income rate.

With me living in China, I do not need as much money to live as I would in the statues, but immigration is unwilling to make an exception for this. This has been extremely discouraging and frustrating, but God being God has made an exception! In the beginning of February I asked my social worker how much more I needed to have to be able to re-submit and be accepted. She gave me an amount, I and realized that my January income (including some one-time gifts) was over the number that she gave me! After realizing we had messed my one time gift, we recalculated my income to included my this amount, it turned out that I had $1,000 more than I needed for the yearly income! Now I can submit... well, almost...

While there is hope, I still need to get some important documents updated, including a new medical, criminal history, and update of my homestudy and of course the new 1800a. This means that I need an additional $2,000 to get the documents prepared... and all of this needs to be done right now. As soon as possible.
