WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! So happy to hear that, Stef! We rec'd our PA on 12/23 last year, so I was still holding out hope for you! Praise the Lord for this wonderful news!!
Thanks for asking about my most recent post. Of course, you are welcome to use it on NHBO. I would love to be able to contribute something towards older child adoption – especially since my girls were WC. Just let me know if I need to cut anything. It's a tad (understatement of the year) on the long side. LOL
I hope you and your family have a fabulous Christmas, Stefanie!! I am sure this is the perfect Christmas present for all of you!
Got your comment on our blog – thanks and big congrats to you!! Sounds like we'll be in Guangzhou at the same time – I'll let you know when we get our CA!
OH MY GOODNESS!!! How exciting!!! ๐ The exact same thing happened to us last year. Our TA came the day after everyone else's–and after I had come to grips with waiting another month. ๐
๐ That's a girl! Blog while you're ON THE PHONE finding out it's time to start packing ๐ Multi-taskers rule ๐ What a merry Christmas gift! Thank you Lord…You knew the desire of her heart. love, Holly
Oh – I am SO excited!!!!!!!!!!!!! I told you not to listen to "not anytime soon"!!!!!!! CONGRATS!!! and MERRY, MERRY Christmas!! Maybe we'll be in GZ together!!!!!!
I'm a long time follower, but have never commented. I just had to say our God is Awesome and right on time. What a wonderful Christmas present. So happy for you all! In Christ, Sharon in Georgia
WOOHOO!!!!! I can't see what time you posted this! I'll be on first thing in the morning to hear the details….they'd better be here. LOL MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!
YIPEEE JESUS!!! Yeah!…your TA is here (on my wedding anniversary nonetheless!) and I cannot think of a more PERFECT Christmas gift! That is SO like our God! He loves details and surprizes, too!!
Wasn't it just one short year ago that you were in China with your sister, bringing home Cole!?! And now 1 year later you will be back there bringing home your precious Vivi!! ๐ PTL!!! Can't wait to follow along on your journey! <><
Blessings to your family for a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! <><
