If you follow me on Instagram, and you totally should be, then you may have seen my post the other week where our first gifts were sent to Judah.
We got an e-mail the other night letting us know that the orphanage where Judah lives did receive our care package of gifts. With gifts being sent and a travel meeting that I posted about on Instagram the other week…
I thought it would be good to share a little adoption update. In my last update we had just received immigration approval from the U.S. to adopt a child from China. At the time we were hoping for a travel somewhere in January or February but knew that the Chinese New Year could throw a loop in things.
For the past two months our dossier has been in China waiting to be reviewed. During that time China had a holiday where the government shut down for a week… so that extended our wait a little longer that we anticipated. This whole step for some reason has been a little longer than the average wait time but God is in control and I constantly remind myself that He will not be a day early or a day late in arranging the day for Judah to come into our lives.
At the end of this step we will receive our Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from China and then we will have the green light to submit the final immigration papers to the U.S government to specifically bring Judah home. Once we have the LOA in hand we will be about two to three months from travel approval and three to four months from actual travel. This mommy heart is getting excited and can’t wait to hold him in my arms!!!
As we get closer and closer to travel we are having more and more people ask us if we are doing any fundraising. The answer is “yes”. We have an account set up with Lifesong where people can donate and with donations of $50 or more receive a tax deductible receipt.
