One Day Closer

Every day is me day closer to holding this precious little girl in our arms. We received new pictures and an update this past week!










She weighs 26 pounds and is 31 inches tall. She sleeps deeply (hooray, that makes 6 for 6 kids! Lol!) and loves to eat cake and other sweets. My kinda gal!

We have been told to prepare for October travel. Our I800 was approved last week and will be cabled to the US Embassy in China sometime this week. We only have a few steps of this journey left before we start our new journey as a family of EIGHT!

LOA and Waiting for I800 Approval!

We received notice from our agency that our long-awaited LOA was approved on 8/2! We received the actual hard copy on 8/5. What a blessing to know that China has officially approved us to be Bella's family!

We are now 10 days into our wait for I800 approval. As little as 6 weeks away from traveling to China.

We are still working hard to raise money for our orphanage donation and other fees. Trusting that God will continue to provide as we finish this journey and bring our amazing daughter home!




Bella says, "Yay, my family has LOA!!!!!!!"
