Quick Alvin Update

Alvin's adoptive father made it safely into the country! He has already been able to visit Alvin. Alvin was very happy to see him, but a little nervous at the same time. Alvin's birth mom prayed over the occasion and Alvin sang his new dad an entire African praise song! Isn't that so precious?!?!?!

Please continue to keep this whole situation in your prayers. Every aspect of this process involves many steps:
-We are still awaiting confirmation for the less expensive flight.
-Tomorrow the processing begins for the adoption and that needs to go fast and smoothly.
-Alvin needs to remain strong physically.
-We need to raise a lot of money for the flight. Please donate towards this cause by clicking here, if you are able.

I do have a lot of faith that all of this will work out in time for Alvin to make it safely to the US, especially since the hardest part has been accomplished (getting the adoption approved), but everyone needs to continue to pray for Alvin and every aspect of getting him home.
