Praise God!


I just received word that the 171-H form that we have been waiting on for almost 3 months, is finally on the way! We should be receiving it in the mail very soon! YEA!!! Mail comes in about an hour today! This may be the day! After we have receive this form we can get the rest of our paperwork done! I am doing the happy dance again!
Oh, adoption is such a roller coaster of emotions! So glad that we know God is in control and His timing is perfect!

Jorja's Province should be safe!

I have received a lot of emails asking if Jorja is okay after this earth quake in China. I have not heard official word, but her Province is quiet a distance from Sichuan Province. From one of my frequently watched blogs Rumor Queen, many adoptive parents are safe and so are their babies. Continue praying for these people!

I am putting together another care package for Jorja! I was advised to not send a stuffed animal - to hard to keep clean. The latest photos I received from a new friend, Jorja's friend's soon to be momma, Jorja is holding on to her friends stuffed animal! Every photo Jorja is holding this sweet stuffed Panda! I am so glad that she likes Panda's! If any one knew me in high school or college you will remember my room(s) filled with Pandas! Now Jailyn and Jorja's room have pandas. One is even painted on the wall. :) I did get a stuffed animal a few months ago which I can record my voice and she can play it, and hear my voice. This looked like the perfect gift for Jorja as we all wait to be united! Hopefully, it won't scare her! :)

We are still waiting on our 171-H! Can't believe how long it is taking!

Have a great day!

Our Cry!


Those in charge of our paperwork, please hear us!

New Photos of Jorja!

We received some new photos of Jorja and her friends! These were sent from another waiting mom and dad. They are waiting on the same paperwork that we are. Wouldn't it be great if we could travel at the same time to get our girls and have the same gotcha' day! That would make a very traumatic time for the girls a little easier! Of course, the airport good-byes would be horrible! But, hopefully we will be bonded a bit before the plane trip though.
We are excited that we have been in contact with the families of Jorja's good friends. We hope and pray that we can keep these friendships going! These families live in the mid-west, near Jailyn's friend Evan (from her orphanage). Hopefully, we can see everyone on our trips to the mid-west!

Still no news on our 171-H. I am trying to be patient, but every day is so important to getting our little girl home!

I hate writing a post with out posting photos too. Photos are much more fun! So, here is a photo of our two precious girls waiting for their sister!

SLUMBER PARTY FUN!
