When God calls you must be willing to say "Here I am send me!"
Sometimes it takes a leap of faith accepting that He will provide!
You never know the blessings you may receive!


"AND WHOEVER WELCOMES A LITTLE CHILD LIKE THIS,

IN MY NAME, WELCOMES ME." Matthew 18:5

ADOPTING A CHILD WON'T CHANGE THE WORLD,
BUT FOR THAT CHILD, THE WORLD WILL CHANGE.

Chinese Consulate in SF

So friday all our paperwork except two documents, was sent by FedEx to a courier in San Francisco to be taken in to the Chinese Consulate to be verified. This is the last step before it goes to the agency and then off to China as our dossier. It should get to the agency by friday of next week and hopefully out to China. I will be really excited when it is in China and more exciting when we get our PA (pre-approval)!!!!!

Fingerprinting is Done!!!!

We drove over to Yakima today and turned in our paperwork and had our fingerprints done. They said it takes three to four weeks but that they have six to complete it. Last year they told us four to six weeks and it took ten days so we are praying that they can be as quick this time. We would like to have our dossier in China before Chinese New Year.

It was a beautiful drive!  There was fresh snow falling and both girls got to get out in it and play for a little bit up in the pass!  Katy loved it but Lexi was not to sure about the whole thing!

Home Study is Complete

We have our finalized home study in hand!!! Tomorrow we are driving to Yakima USCIS office for a walk in fingerprint appointment. Last year when we did this for Lexi it just took them 10 days to get our I-171H to us. We are praying they will be that quick this time.
