Olivia's Birth Father Has Been Found

I received a call today from our agency and was told that Olivia's birth father has been found but that we needn't worry as he has signed relinquishment papers. What this means is that we now must refile a form with homeland security to get her status changed from abandoned to relinquished for her visa. The good news is that we may be able to get some information about her birth family which may be valuable to Olivia in the future. It seems that as we thought, Olivia's birth mother died at childbirth. What's not clear is if she died as a result of childbirth or from some other cause. We may be able to get that clarified. I have an amazing peace about all this. I guess it's confirmation that she has been born in our hearts and is truely our daughter. I know she will be with us eventually. My prayers go out for her birthfather, who just recently had this sad part of his life brought back forward. I don't know if he has had any contact with her at all, but whatever happened it couldn't have been easy. As things stand right now, they are redoing her birth certificate and some other official paperwork. Until that is done, we will not receive approval. Our agency thinks this shouldn't delay things more then a couple of weeks. When we receive copies of her paperwork, we will refile with homeland security here. We still hope to have her home sometime in November. Please pray the rest of this goes smoothly and that God is preparing her heart for us!!
