Dossier is on the way to Holt!!

I am extremely excited to announce that the COMPLETED DOSSIER is on the way to Holt where they will review it and then send it on to China! The next thing we will be waiting for is our LID as soon as we have that that means we are officially in the system and can receive a referral!! What a great way to start off the new year. We thought we would never get done with all that paperwork! God knew he would get us through :) Happy New Year everyone! Love to all of you...

Just Received our I-797 Approval!!!

Today was a great day!!! Today we received our I-797 approval!!! We are super excited that we have been approved and now all we need to do is get it notarized, state certified, and authenticated. Then we mail our completed Dossier to Holt!!! I am hoping to get it mailed off  by next week!!! Merry Christmas us!!!

Is Beyond Blessed By Friends

I am writing this post just to say that I am so beyond blessed by all the beautiful people in our lives. How much they love and how much they give is so amazing to me. God continues to show his love through his followers. Right now we have a family that is auctioning off a piece of award winning artwork and giving 100% of the proceeds toward our adoption which is absolutely AMAZING of them to do! We just thank them and give praise to God for what they are doing to help and for raising adoption awareness in the community. If you haven't checked out the art work I encourage you to do so. It is a beautiful piece of art with so much meaning behind it .....Here is the link.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Orphan-Award-Winning-Artwork-Matted-and-Framed-/280792921653?pt=Art_Mixed_Media&hash=item41608ff635

Many Blessings to you all...

New Blog Additions!!

After spending almost the entire day playing around with this, almost having a mental break down,  making several phone calls, and  getting some huge help from a lovely lady (thank you Amy!!!) the blog is looking better!! I have added our adoption timeline, some music and a new back ground. Enjoy!! Sheesh : /

Waiting for USCIS Approval....

Just a quick update...we are still waiting to receive our USCIS approval. Hopefully we will receive it by December 21st. It is hard to be patient and anyone who knows me knows I struggle with this a lot! The adoption process seems cruel at times and I know this is only the beginning. Lord help me to rely on your perfect  timing and to remember that YOU are captain of this ship. I can't help but think that next Christmas Meili will be here! I can't help but wonder where she is now...but God knows...
