There is a family we know that has been on a journey to adopt a little girl from Uganda. They went in for their Embassy Exit Interview today and they were denied their daughter's US Visa. Here is a part of their explanation -
We were at the end of the process and it is just now that we are made aware that something at the beginning of the process was not done. Something so important that it may cost us our child. It is the type of circumstance where legality trumps the child’s welfare. Just because one document was neglected to be completed the whole case is shot.

They have been living in Uganda (with their daughter) for 2 months and are supposed to be on a plane home this weekend. Their case is being submitted to Homeland Security to be reviewed, they were told to expect a final answer by Friday, but not to get their hopes up.
They are praying for a miracle and we are praying and believing with them! Please join us and lift this family up. We don't always understand God's plans, but we know He is our Everlasting, Faithful, Almighty God and He loves this family and this child. Pray that their case would be approved. Pray that this family would feel His presence.
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16
Oh my goodness, that's so sad :( I said a prayer for them. I hope everything works out and that they get to bring their daughter home. I have three adopted siblings and know first hand how hard it is when it doesn't turn out :(
