Prayer request

As we told you, we had an interesting day at the visa medical exam yesterday. Then, this morning, Shiyan called us to let us know that the report written by the doctors may suggest that Zach's problem is more serious and complicated than just a minor special need. This could cause a problem, since our home study addendum says that we are willing to adopt a child with minor special needs. If the medical report says the need is more major and the home study says "minor," Shiyan is concerned that they won't accept our application. We added a line to our I600 application that states that we are aware of the different medical possibilities for the limp. She is hoping that this will avoid any problems.

Obviously, we can't know what the problem is until we get home. Steve spoke to the doctor traveling with us and he said that the reason given by the doctors yesterday is certainly a possibility. However, if it is, it usually gets better, not worse. He also said that the doctors at Gillette specialize in this, as well. We are praising God that he is here with us because he also told us he would pull some strings to get us in to see the doctors we need to see there.

Thanks for praying for us! We know it will all work out. In the meantime, it is an added stress that we need peace about.

NOTE: These last two posts are actually posted by me from China! However, I am going to let Megan add the pictures to the first one, since all my instructions are in Chinese, and I have no clue which one is telling me I can add a picture!
