At last!!! FINALLY!!! Can't wait to see you move quickly to TA and then to departure! The sooner the better so you can hold that sweet baby girl in your arms! Congrats Stefanie!!! ๐
YEAH!!!! Soooo EXCITED for you!!! ๐ BIG BLESSINGS are comin' your way!!! We received our LOA right away, but we are hung up on 800 paper work due to our move…..trying to rest in HIM…..knowing this is all being held in the palm of His hand! Take care!
Wootie woot! I'm soooo happy for you! And for me! We got ours yesterday too. ๐ But ours came in 30 days…what's up with the randomness of timing? Oh yeah, it's called International adoption.
geez oh pete– and i thought ours was a long wait (we were close to 50 days back in the beginning of the year) ugh– now it's more predictable– in about 4-5 months you'll have her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
So very happy for your progress! Poppy is too cute! Hey can you send some of your total adoption coolness toward the singles who are praying for another chance to go to China to bring home these precious ones too? Sigh- three long years now with no baby sister or brother for my girl. I love that you are such a terrific special needs advocate. My southern belle waited too long on those lists as well. Blessings, Shirley
Great news! I didn't want to ask when you posted on FB because I didn't know if it was just a setback or more. Thrilled this came and you're one step closer. Can't wait to see who accompanies you on this trip.
Yay! So very happy for you and for her! And may I say again – what a darling girlie! I hope you get some new photos soon; what a great Christmas present that would be!
