Getting you up to date.

It has been a long time since that original post.  We have come so far on our journey.... We not only completed our homestudy, but we moved back to Texas and updated it again.  We chose an agency, found our little on on a waiting child list.  She is from China and is now 3 1/2 years old.  Our oldest daughter is profoundly deaf, so we knew when we started this journey we wanted to adopt another deaf child. We have gotten our I800A approved by the US government. We have pre-approval from China, and have completed our dossier. our log in date (LID) should be any day now.  Now we wait.  We wait as China reviews our paperwork and gives us final approval, and approval to travel.  We have been told this process can take 5-7 months, we are praying it goes quickly.  Our daughter is blessed to be in a foster home, where she is loved and cared for, although she has not yet been taught any form of sign language.  We have been told she communicates with gestures to her foster parents.  This child is already knit together with our family, she is my daughter, and my heart aches for her.  I want to hold her in my arms and wrap her up in our love, and in the love of her heavenly father.  For now we will be content to work and raise the funds we will need to complete this journey. I will post more later... Thanks for sharing this journey with us....
