We just received an update from Kevin. He says, "The tremendous team effort that has been expended so far is beginning to bear fruit. The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State have agreed to issue the necessary travel documents for Amina and her mother to move from Iraq through Jordan to the US. We are in the process of obtaining an Iraqi passport for the mother. I expect to have that in hand no later than 7 January."

We thought you might be interested in this newspaper article written before Christmas.
