Today three French families got their travel approval! They are traveling to Nepal on Sunday. This is great news. We pray the approvals keep coming as well as more referrals. We are praying for all the traveling families for a safe trip to and from Nepal. Congratulations to all the families!
We just wonder where we are on the waiting list. There is word that there is roughly 150 more dossiers matched and waiting. I don't believe we are going to be in this group, but you never know! We believed months ago that we were somewhere in the range of 200-250.
There is a database that families waiting in the Nepal program can enter information into. The information that can be entered is agency name, age requested, when dossier in country, when dossier was registered with the Ministry and things such as that. The database was set up with about 200 lines because that is roughly when Nepal stopped giving numbers. The numbers were a sort of way to know where you were in line. I am not positive, but believe they stopped giving numbers in mid April and we did not receive a number as our log in date at the Ministry was May 1st. Many people have entered their information but there are many, many lines that are not filled in. So what I am really trying to get at is that we hope that some of those numbers do not have a family attached to them and that would move us up in line, but I do know that is wishful thinking!
We try not to lose sight of the fact that everything is in God's timing and God's timing is nothing less than perfect. We continue to pray for the children in Nepal and that they will soon be with their families.
