Adoption Update

I am bleary eyed and MUST go to sleep, but I have to share our wonderful news first! We found out today that China has already translated and logged in (aka Log In Date or LID) our paperwork that was received on September 10th. Wahoo!!!!! This happened super fast and we are thankful to God for that.

We have been told that we could travel in about four months or less, so by mid-January or sooner. We are praying for sooner of course. :-) Sweet dreams y'all.

One BIG Step Closer to "Marlaina"

I almost cried in the grocery store today. Our agency called when I was on the cereal isle and said our dossier will be mailed to China this afternoon. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!! Now the wait begins...

News Worth Sharing!

It is sooo late for me but I just have to share our good news! On Thursday, August 30th, I picked up our remaining approved documents from the Chinese Consulate's office. Praise the Lord!!!

Thursday night we carted the kids off yet again to the FedEx store, but this time instead of making copies we mailed our dossier off to our agency. Which is why Darrell and I were able to relax with a showing of Roman Holiday on our DVD player here at home tonight while the kiddos played games and watched their own show. (Luke is a fan of Audrey Hepburn but apparently tonight he and Kate were in the mood for some Scooby Doo).

We will breathe a big sigh of relief when we get the thumbs up from the agency and our papers are mailed to China. That will be one of many very important milestones which will bring us one step closer in our journey to our daughter. Please continue to pray for God's hand in our journey. Xie xie!
