Saturday, September 8, 10:15 a.m., Bangkok
Hello (sa wa dee ka)! We know that many of you have said that you would be praying for us and we have a very specific request...There is a very important document, the I-171H, that should have been cabled from the US Immigration office to the US Embassy here in Bangkok. It could have been sent as early as last January, but somehow was not sent. When the adoption agency discovered this a few weeks ago, we quickly sent emails, snail mail, and phone calls to try to expedite it, but we just found out that as of yesterday it still has not been sent. Without this document, our return trip could be delayed. As far as we know, it has been sent to a New Hampshire visa processing office, and it is up to that office to cable it to Bangkok. Please pray that they will send it before September 12, our interview date and the earliest date we can file for the children's visas. Thank you for lifting this up on our behalf and please pass it along to other prayer warriors!

Praise God, praise God, praise God! We're praying for a hedge of protection around both of you and your babies... and now more specifically for the red tape to flow smoothly. I'm so excited everyday to look at this site - it really does feel like I'm tucked in your pocket! Remember, even when we don't know what it is, God's plan is perfect and there's a reason for everything! And, remember to breathe, too. I love you both - Cheryl
You should try calling Senator Smith and Wyden's Eugene or Portland office and asking for their caseworker that handles immigration services for constituents. if you can give them all the info and the agency you are working with, they should be able to call and check on the form and maybe get it expedited.
Here's Sen. Smith's website for constituent casework

if you don't get much headway, then try Wyden's office. you can find his weblink at www.senate.gov
we are reading all the wonderful news and praying too!
