To China In January....

ADOPTION UPDATE:

We missed the cut off on the matches from the China Center Of Adoption Affairs by one day. Although it will not be actually official until the matches arrive on Monday or until the CCAA updates their website with the cut off date we are sure that we did not get matched this month. We were really hoping for a November match so that we could use some of our 2007 vacation time in making the trip and having more time at home with the little girl after getting back before having to go back to work.

Now to the positive side of this little bump in the road. We know that we will be included in the next batch because they will be starting with December 9, 2005 and that is our "Log In Date"
YEAH!!! No longer will we have to wonder if we are included in the next group of families that will be waiting on "THE CALL" from their agency. Probably sometime within the first 10 days in December we will be called by our agency and they will tell us the age of the little girl that the CCAA matched us with, what her Chinese name is, a little about her history, and then while we are on the phone with them they will send us an email with her picture attached. When we open up that email it will be our first glimpse of the little girl, that is destined to become our daughter. Wow!! Two years and seven months after being approved to adopt by Chinese Children Adoption International in Colorado we will see her precious face. It has been a very long wait and one thing that has remained constant and sure during this time is that we are so committed to loving, and raising another daughter. What a blessing!! Praise God, He is so faithful to us and to our family.

Our trip to China will be sometime in January, most likely in mid-month. It is awesome to finally have some sort of timeline. Thank you for all your prayers for us and for our little girl. We do hope that you will continue to pray for her and for us over the next couple of months. Our prayer for her is that she will be warm, fed, and lovingly held by someone who loves Jesus while she waits for us to bring her home.

As always continue to check our adoption site CHINA HOPE for more updates and soon PICTURES.
