Referral Acceptance on its way!

Our agency sent our referral acceptance documents to China today! We are now awaiting our Travel Approval so that we can get our Visas and make all of our travel arrangements. We should know something in the next 10 days as to when we will travel. Hurry up and wait....again! It is all becoming real. I have done some shopping....it seems we have a tiny one on our hands so we needed some little clothes. I love this part! We now have blankets, diapers, jammies, bottles etc. as we prepare for our travels.

Many of you may have heard about the formula recall in China. The reported cases seem to be in northwest China.....our orphanage is in southeast China so we are hopeful it is not the formula Madelyn is being fed. We are praying for good health while she awaits our arrival. Please say a special prayer for her. It has been a difficult day wondering if my baby could possibly be struggling and there is absolutely nothing I can do to help her. Matt and I both realized how much we have already come to love this child that we have not even met yet. She is our girl! Megan has completely embraced the idea of her baby sister. She wanted to make her own post to the blog tonight as she anticipates this new addition to our family. It is going to be good to be in China and finally complete this family of ours. We are so blessed.We continue to covet your prayers and would love to hear from you.

Love to all,
