LOA

What an exciting day..
I had lunch with my daughter and grand daughter
and also got to spend time with my beautiful little
grand daughter for a couple hours.

She was trying to have a conversation with memere.


My husband gets home and proceeds to check his emails.
He says " Did you get a email from our agency about LOA "?
Me " no, why "?   He says "BECAUSE WE HAVE LOA "!!

If you are not familiar with the adoption lingo... LOA means
that Ch*na has officially matched us with our children. !!!

Wow, still in awe......

WELL

Wow, It has been a while since I have posted.
Just really busy with life and work and snow storms
and snow storms and Ice storms....u get the picture.

On the adoption front We are signing the official
referral papers for both children. Writing out checks
for the final fees for our agency and the extra $720
for I-800 (2nd child) and filling out I-800 papers
and I-864W..   Praying that our LOA will come as
soon as our paper work get to the agency....

 HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY !!

We have paid for everything up to now and
now we need help for the traveling part of this
leap of faith.   HELP !!  I need to find time to fill out grant
applications, ask for reference letters try to sell hats, angels
and t-shirts !!

Oh and some sad news.... Our agency has us signing a
statement that we will not post anything, pictures or personal
information that is in our daughter and son files that came from
3CWA until after we finalize in Ch*na    :(((

HARMONY

1 Peter 3:8- Live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic,
 love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.

 This was the Bible verse for the day on the Christian radio
station that we listen to. And as I pushed  helped the last child
out the door this morning, I think we were missing all those things
this morning  :(        I prefer smooth mornings.

Pray for our family
