Mother's Day
I am living the best job in the world
I am a Mom to 3 (soon to be 4) wonderful kids, 3 conceived in my
womb and 1 conceived in my heart. I also married my best friend
and he is the love of my life. We took Mother's Day to a new
level this year. It feels great..

Thank You
THANK YOU to our family, friends and to GracePlace for helping
us here at the end of our journey to Myah!
Or should I say the beginning!
We are deeply moved...
Immigration emailed us this morning...
Our FBI fingerprints expired 5/08. We went to West Palm Beach
Immigration 2 weeks ago to have them re-taken. The turnaround
time is generally 4-6 weeks if not longer. But we happen to have
a great relationship with our Adoption Unit Officer and she
emailed us and said she mailed out our approval....we wait for 1
more approval letter from China and we are off like a prom
dress....

WE ARE PRE-APPROVED
YIPPEEE..... We have received Pre-Approval (PA) from the CCAA.
We are one step closer to receiving final approval for our
child! Our last letter of approval should arrive in 4-6 weeks.We
are hoping to travel around August. God is good...

There are more of us out there...
This weekend we had contact with other families that are
adopting from the same orphanage , Meizhou Welfare Institute. We
heard such great things about it. I met one family that has a
child the same age as Myah. We are confident that our girls are
playmates.
I have been trying to compare notes and figure out when we will
hear from China. We are awaiting our pre-approval letter. Once
that is received we wait for our LOA (letter of Acceptance).
Then finally our TA (travel arrangements). According to our
agency this entire process takes between 3-6 months. We plan on
traveling around July/August....we pray its sooner. |
