Pre-Approved

We were pre-approved in 1 week! The usual time is 2-4 wks. We now wait 60-100 days for the official referral. We, too, are hoping and praying for it to be closer to 60 days!

News to Share

After taking a little break from blogging, we are back with exciting news to share! In September, Rob and I filled out the application for a special needs child also referred to as a "Waiting Child". Periodically, our adoption agency sends out a list of these children for us to view. On one particular day, 3 special children stood out to me from the long list. I forwarded those children to Rob at work. He, too, was interested in finding out more information on one particular child. We talked about it further that night and contacted the adoption agency the next morning. We received her file that afternoon. Since then, we have seen and spoken to many specialists, our social worker, our adoption agency, and the orphanage/foster home. This Wednesday, after much prayer, our family chose to send a "Letter of Intent" to China asking to adopt this 6 yr old little girl. We now wait for China to pull our file and approve the match. This usually takes anywhere from 2-4 wks. If all goes well, we will be traveling to China in the next 5-8 months. We have so much to do...
