We went to a city 90 miles north of here to get the mortgage letter from the bank that we need for our dossier. No such luck. Even though John’s name is on the account as someone that they can give information to, they wouldn’t.
Our only hope now is that our Mayor or City Administrator will do the letter for us combining all of the information, on letterhead, with notary. We live in a small town, and John is a volunteer fire fighter, EMT, and the chaplain of the Fire and Police Departments. He is "friends" with all of our city officials, so we are hoping and praying that one of them will do this letter for us. If not, I don't know what we'll do.
We’re still waiting for the I171H too. I keep thinking “what if… “ I know it’s the devil trying to get me while I’m already down. Ugh!! It’s a terrible feeling.
All of the delays will have us traveling later than we have been hoping. My new hope is September. There are a few good things though that this would mean too, it won’t be as hot in Timothy’s country, the tickets are ½ what we would have paid in August, and the big kids will be back at school. While this was a fear of mine before, which is why I wanted to travel before school starts, I’m realizing that that won’t be such a bad thing, it will make it easier for my Mom who will be here staying with them, she won’t have to entertain them all day everyday that we’re gone, not that they really need entertained, but it can still wear on a person. hehe
Last week I also “met” a lady that is willing to help in any way that she can to help us raise the money. We are going to do a “benefit” type thing with Steph’s Enchilladas, and maybe Ashley’s key lime pies!! YUMMY!!
Something that I’m looking forward to is another family’s journey to get their little ones from the same orphanage that our Timothy is in. Their dossier is on its way as we speak. I am so hoping that they will be able to sneak in a few photos of our boy while they are there! I’m going to send him a blanket when they travel. I told the Mom to whisper in his ear that we’re coming and to hang on it won’t be long and that we love him if she gets the chance to interact with him at all.
So, while the setbacks are hard, I can still see that they are ok.
