Well, we got our dossier off to China in February!
Log In Date: February 23rd!
Next up, waiting on our LOA (confirmation letter from CCAA)
While waiting for China to process our paperwork, we have been busy with everything else. And we got a medical update on LilyBeth. She's 20 pounds, 30 inches tall, and doing great. We were disappointed to see that she has another medical condition that was undiagnosed until recently. It's ok though, we are familiarizing ourselves with her condition and have learned that she will have a pretty normal life--despite check ins with doctors on a regular basis.
We expect to receive our LOA this week, and once we do; look out cuz paperwork will be flying all over the Ward household! We will be mailing in our I800 application, our DS230 application, Visa application for me, and then we wait for our TA!
I still have so much to do before she comes home though. Bedroom to paint, clothes to purchase, two beds to purchase--not to mention a larger kitchen table, Josh's adoption to go to, and then the mayhem known as packing will begin. I am so excited that I will be able to visit New Day while in Beijing--that's where Thomas lived for nearly 20 months.
God has blessed us abundantly and we are thrilled to be moving along.
I have been thrilled to learn of so many adoption buddies who are adopting again! Wahoo! But, I was also saddened to hear about the news in Ethiopian adoption circles. Praying that things get fixed quick!
Continuing to pray for Japan and her citizens.
