I got our homestudy draft yesterday. I was so excited! For about 10 minutes. I got an email after she emailed the draft that completely sucked the joy out of completing the HS milestone.
Brad is a ordained minister. Because of that, his salary is wacky. A large part of it is not taxable, therefore not listed on his w2. We meet China's reuirements of $10,000 per family member, including the adopted child. However, it "appears" that we don't on our tax documents. We have provided a letter from his employer stating his annual salary, which is in excess of the requirement. We have supplied a breakdown of the financial picture. We get a housing allowance, a health insurance allowance and a mileage allowance. Apparently, my agency isn't sure we can include those allowances in his total salary. I have explained to them that, that money is Brad's regardless of how it is designated. It is only designated that way so we don't have to "claim" it at tax time.
Anyway, I am waiting to hear back. It literally could be the end of the road for us. They may not let us move forward. I am devastated. I have no idea how it's going to turn out. PLEASE PRAY!

Cast all your anxiety on God because he cares for you.

This isn't the end of the road, but it may be a road block. Now may be the time for you to take a "detour". It might slow things down a bit, but the road will still lead to your destination. I will be praying for you as you seek out our Father's wisdom and WAIT on Him to come tearing through the wall...armed for battle...when all seems doomed. He WILL win the victory!!!
Oh no. :o( I'm praying hard for you! Praying that this is God's plan for your family and that He will clear the path to Jessica!
Thanks guys!! Your encouragement means so much!
Remember that following God's will doesn't mean a path with bumps and obstacles. I am so glad that this is easily resolved!
