Jubilee is Coming Home!!

Back in August I wrote this post about my bloggy friend Linny, whose family is in the process of bringing home their new daughter, Jubilee, from Ch*na. In August, the previous acceptance of their application to adopt Jubilee (please forgive my errors in terminology, as I'm not too familiar with the adoption process) had just been revoked by the Ch*nese government. At that time I was asking you to join me in praying for Linny and her family, asking God to move on their behalf so that they could bring Jubilee home. You can read all about Jubilee here.

So many things have happened since then - none of them good, really - in regards to Jubilee's adoption. In early November Linny's family found out that their paperwork had been sitting buried on someone's desk for weeks. And due to some red tape glitch, because their immigration paperwork had been lost in their house fire in January, they were going to have to refile it all over again....AGAIN (for the 3rd time). They have had trouble with the US Consulate in Ch*na, the immigration office, you name it. It's been a roller coaster ride, to say the least.

Well, God heard our prayers, and I wanted to let you know that Jubilee is coming home! Thank you all so much for your prayers. Linny and her daughter Emma are leaving on Friday to go pick up Jubilee. Their Consulate appointment is December 21 at 9:30 a.m., and they are planning to arrive back home on Christmas Eve. Is that an awesome Christmas present, or what?

Will you please join me again in praying for this family? Pray for Linny and Emma's safety and peace as they travel, for God's favor on them as they go through their Consulate appointment and all of the other governmental process, and for peace and comfort for Jubilee as she goes through this enormous change.

Thank you so much, bloggy friends - you're the best!
