This is amazing news. This is the final step - for the waiting part of the journey.
Dossier to China (DTC)
Our dossier of paperwork will be "logged in" with the China Center for Children's Welfare and Adoption (CCCWA). We will receive an official Log in Date (LID) from them.
NEXT - We wait for a phone call from our agency with a referral. The call could be any day, but we expect it to be within the next several months. It will take about 2-3 months for that next stage of paperwork, and then we will fly to China to bring her home. (I'm excited just typing those words!)
We have her bed ready to go, right next to her big sister.
We want to be ready, plus help prepare our whole family for the many upcoming transitions.
You can also see many of the little items we have been collecting for her over the last few years.
Including the cross we have always held during our family prayer time.
It's been even more special to kneel at her bed as we pray.
"Little Sis"
Please continue to pray for God to take care of all the big and little details of this process.
Even as big as our love for our little girl is, I know God's love is even bigger. He wants her home with us even more than we do. I know He is at work, and we continue to see evidence of His presence.
Please continue to pray for our sweet little girl.
I've tried to put words to this process, but I just don't have adequate words for all I see and feel.
We serve an amazing God.
I don't have words that can adequately thank you. Thank you for reading this. Thank you for the kind words, and thoughtful questions. Thank you for the smiles and "likes". Thank you for the blessing of donations.
Thank you for the prayers!! Nothing compares to the prayers.
