We received word that our dossier was submitted on October 23. So close!!!
We now are at the mercy of the SDA for the next 20 business days. So far away… The 20 day wait puts us around Thanksgiving before we hear anything. We are hoping beyond hope that we would be able to travel and be home before Christmas.
Patience… A little bit goes such a long way. Soon the patience will be replaced by the anxiety of traveling, followed by a little more patience in dealing with the SDA, the court system, and the embassy, followed by the joy of giving a young person a new lease on life.
Mixed in with all the emotions is fear of the unknown.
Time for a little more patience…
The Wildeman Family 
Greetings, Wildeman family! I am glad I can follow your journey to bring home your daughter. We are just starting the process to bring home our 13-year-old host daugher; we are completing the paperwork for our home study now. We have to keep reminding ourselves that God’s timing is perfect, but we also don’t want our girl to wait any longer than absolutely necessary!

Hello. You don’t know me or my family, but I felt like I wanted to post here. In June of 2007 we began praying for a family for Vera. Since then we have been praying each night for her and for you. We are very excited for all of you. Will continue praying for a speedy process. Blessings, The Peirces
