Yesterday, we roused ourselves earlier than God (or at least God when He's on vacation!) (I'm kidding! KIDDING! I know God still gets up early on His vacations at the Heavenly shores!) and drove down to our adoption agency for the signing of our Letter Of Acceptance. Written both in Chinese and in English, the official document was beautiful! It reminded me of the day The Boss and I signed our marriage license. I even had the butterflies in my still- sleepy tummy fluttering around on the whole drive down. We made it a family affair, as this document represents a huge step forward in realizing this dream that we have all been nurturing and pursuing these many years.
Next prayer focus, for those of you who are pressing in for us!, is that we'd like to see our Travel Approval (TA) arrive SOOON! Specifically, soon enough for us to request a September Consulate Appointment (CA). More specifically, we'd like to travel AFTER the kids' first day of school and BEFORE Baby BlueEyes 7th birthday. Hey, God sent me LOA for my birthday, He surely can send Aidan home for BBE's birthday, right?!

So awesome - expect that travel approval soon 'cause here's what I know about God - when people pray, He's listening!
Woohoo! This is quite a celebratory day. That is really cool to get the extra copy with all signatures for the baby book.
Love it, love it, love it! The pics of you and the family were great - can't wait to see the when the picture is complete with little Aidan home.
And if I ever get up your way...I am coming over... count on that!

Praise God! It's such an amazing time to commit on paper (though you committed in your hearts already) to your precious Aiden. I am thrilled for you! And I'll pray for God's favor for your travel dates.
Congratulations!
YAY! So happy for you and your family and I pray that TA comes soon. I like the symbolism of the entire family signing the LOA for sweet Aidan's baby book.
Hugs,

P.S. You and Boss better get busy finishing that to do list, I have a feeling Aidan is coming home VERY soon. :)
Hugs,

I think you will leave sooner I really do.......
Congrats and I too like the idea of signing the LOA with the family......
This is so exciting! Your blog is my favorite show!!!
VERY Cool!
Whoo Hoo!! Isn't that a wonderful feeling, to know that now, she will only be waiting a short time for her family to come pick her up??? Someone sent me something once, about the adoption wait. It said something like, no matter how long we have waited for our child, the child has waited their lifetime for a family - makes you really remember that it is, in fact, about the sweet gift of a child - one that God created knowing exactly who would raise them, and exactly when the perfect day to join them would be!! Can't wait to follow your journey to your sweet Aidan! Love, Regina
I am so excited for you guys!!
Congratulations! Reading of your journey, reminds me so much of ours. August 1st is the day we saw our daughter for the first time, signed our documents and sent them back to China.
Many Blessings
What a wonderful event! What a great picture of your family - I can't wait to see pictures when Aidan joins the gang.
God is good...you will be traveling SOON!
This is awesome. Congratulations!
