LOA!!!!!!!

We wanted to let you all know that after 112 days of waiting for our LOA (Letter of Acceptance from China), it is finally here! I was beginning to think this day would never happen though of course I knew it would. It was especially long and we were starting to get concerned. I know that it is all a matter of God's timing and I have found being angry at Him just isn't the best bet so I tried to relax and just pray a lot. So I was so excited when Meg from our agency called this morning to let us know that they have received it. They signed it for us and sent it on back so we are anticipating receiving our TA or travel approval in 30 days. That would put it around Sept 22 and then hope to travel late Oct or early Nov. We are so excited that we are getting closer to finally bringing Ellie home!!! So thank you for all your prayers and please continue to pray for us as we get ready to go and for Ellie as she will be making a lot of adjustments in the months ahead. It is exciting but also nerve wracking as there are so many unexpecteds regarding how she will adjust and adapt to her new family. We will all need a lot of patience over the next few months but glad that the moment is getting closer each day!!
