God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

LOA

We have reached another milestone in the adoption process.  Yesterday, we got this e-mail -

Dear Tiffany and David,
Good news!  I just learned that your LOA arrived today.  It’s not even 30 days from the PA approval.  Congrats!!!
I’m very very excited.  Hope CCCWA people work as fast as this.

We had been preparing ourselves for a 2-4 month wait (according to our timeline).  Everything so far has gone SO WELL!  We are praying that everything continues to go just as smoothly.  According to our timeline, which is a rough estimate, we should anticipate to travel in 14-16 weeks.  This means that we may be traveling to China in time to celebrate our anniversary.

What's next...
* We will mail in our I-800 to our social worker today, along with our signed LOA.  Then, she will look it over and get that in the mail ASAP.
*  We are getting our care package ready for Lilly.  I bought her very first outfit last night!
*  March 24th we are having a Chicken Dinner Fundraiser to help with travel expenses.  More information will be coming about that.

We are just so humbled and thankful that God has chosen us to be the parents of this little girl.  We know we have some hard work ahead of us as a family, but know that God will equip us with the tools necessary.  Your prayers, as always, are appreciated!
