Updated Photos

Immediately after posting yesterday I recieved 5 new pictures of Bree from China-Babies! We cannot believe how much more grown up she looks just in the last three months! We continue to fall deeper in love with her with each new picture-she is going to be so smothered in kisses and hugs!

65 Days and Counting!

Well, we are past the two month mark. Our agency has been quiet
with any LOA's or TA's for over two weeks now. We are all getting a bit ansy! We have been in contact with China-Babies, a company that will take updated pictures of Bree, but they are waiting to here back from her orphanage for permission. This company has been into her orphanage before for this purpose, so we are praying they will allow them in again. We just joined our local FCC group (Families with Children from China)-they organize many activities throughout the year-quite a few of the members are patients of mine so there is some familiarity. Hopefully, we will have a more exciting post in the near future!

Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bring your children from the East and gather you from the West. Isiah 43:5

53 days

Today is day 53. Average wait has been 90 days to get LOA, so I guess we are over half way there! Today is actually a holiday in China -Dragon Boat Festival. I learned that from couples in China currently. It also has been raining tons in Hong Kong with lots of flooding. It apparently is monsoon season from July-September.
I am sure many of you noticed the changes on this blog- it was tweaked by my friend Rina (who is adopting from the same orphanage) and I am so appreciative!! My computer abilities are limited!! Now I can check the live feed and actually kind of guess who has been on the blog. Thanks for following along. God Bless

Waiting

This part of our wait has been the most difficult. All we can do is look at Bree's beautiful pictures and pray for the day she will be in our arms. It is such a blessing to have Brynn and Brooke during this waiting period. Their "ideas" for how things will be once Bree is home with us are so precious. Brooke is so excited to have Bree share her room (she has even emptied out a drawer in the bathroom for her) and Brynn is convinced she will be doing all the "teaching" of English etc. to Bree. I have begun to start a packing list and pile.....still likely another month til LOA. Thank you to all who are praying for Bree and checking our progress on this blog. God Bless.
