It’s been two weeks since we had our fingerprints taken in Kigali in order to process our FBI Clearance. All of the paperwork necessary to renew our USCIS Approval to Adopt an Orphan from overseas was successfully submitted on time a little over a month ago. We are now waiting for FBI Clearance, thus the fingerprint cards.
We were blessed that the USCIS in Nairobi arranged for us to have our fingerprints taken in Kigali (rather than having to fly to Nairobi).
We were told by the USCIS in Accra to mail the fingerprint cards directly to them. However, the US Consular in Kigali said that she had different instructions as to where they need to go and would not let us have them to mail to the USCIS in Accra.
It’s been two weeks now and we’ve had no word as to the status of the fingerprint cards. We pray every night that the Lord would assign an angel to hand deliver those cards wherever they need to be.
Our China Adoption is dependent on many things. Having FBI clearance through successful fingerprint processing is one of those. Without this clearance our adoption stops where it is. So, you can see how important this is.
This morning I wrote (again) the USCIS offices in Nairobi and Accra as well as the Consulate in Kigali asking for any information as to the whereabouts of the fingerprint cards. Please join us in prayer today asking the Lord to make sure that those fingerprint cards get to the place where they need to go AND that they will be processed properly and our FBI police clearance granted quickly.
Thank you for your prayers…they’re helping us bring our daughter home.

Praying for you today.
Holy God, I pray that Your hand will guide those responsible for the fingerprint cards and that the cards will be placed properly and in a timely manner. I also pray that You continue to guide the adoption process that it might go smoothly. Amen.
I am praying for your fingerprint cards to arrive safely to the right place at the right time.
A friend of our told several time during our wait for our adopted daughter that it all works out in “God’s time not our time.” I am praying for that special little girl that God had chosen for you. She will have a great set of parents and brothers to love her.
May God speed those fingerprints and the processing for you to have your daughter soon. Praying for that little girl also. I know God has a special plan that will unfold to His perfection. May your family be joined soon.
Praying for the fingerprints today.
