Sometimes it is difficult in the adoption process to wait and the last few months have seemed to drag on but we do have some good news to report! Today we received our I-171 H which is the last final document that we needed in order to start processing our paperwork and getting it ready to go to China. I will make copies and send it on to our agency in the next few days. For most people it is really exciting because that means the agency can go ahead and make sure their paperwork is ready and send it out to china. However we still have a wait due to Jeff's age. Our agency will get our paperwork ready and notarized for us but it will not be able to be sent out until after Jeff's birthday the end of Nov.
We also were hoping that we would find our little girl off the latest waiting child list from our agency but that didn't happen. There were other families ahead of us in the process and all that our agency has left on their list are boys. So we were a bit disappointed but are confident that God knows exactly the little girl who is meant to be ours. She may already be in China at this moment and I know He loves all the little boys and girls around the world that are looking for loving families.
So for now all that is left to do is wait. We will keep you posted on any changes that happen. Thanks for following along on our journey with us. Please keep us in your prayers as we trust His plan through all the waiting.
