Today we received the most beautiful piece of paper via FedEx.  We both had to sign our names and check the tiniest box saying, “YES, we accept this referral”.  

Yes, I will be your mommy!

Yes, I will be your daddy!

Yes, we will be your family!!!

We promptly signed and packaged everything and immediately sent it back to our agency via FedEx so they will have it tomorrow.  I cannot believe we are this close to getting our sweet Lillee!!

We are still awaiting the birthday pictures but have received an email that we should get them by the end of the week.  The lady at the orphanage who emails the pictures is currently in Beijing meeting with officials.  I cannot wait to see her sweet face!!  I have memorized every detail of every picture we have received so far.  I know her eyes, her little nose, precious lips, chubby cheeks, darling ears and sweet fuzzy head by heart!  

We cannot wait to be a family of SEVEN!!!

Our LOA

7/21/2014

0 Comments

 
After 15 long months of filling out tons of paperwork, online classes, home study visits, background checks, and many many prayers, we finally received an email today saying we have our “soft LOA”.  What does that mean?  It means the hard copy of our Letter of Acceptance is on it’s way from China to our adoption agency.  As soon as we get this, things start to move really fast!  We still have some more paperwork but Lillee is ours and we are going to bring her home soon!

She turns one this week and I can’t help but think of her birth parents.  How they must be thinking of her and wondering if she is ok.  I am sure they have the same worries and concerns I have.  Does she have enough to eat, is she sick, is there anyone to spend time with her, is she loved, is she hurt, is she scared? I am so excited to get our beautiful daughter but the heartbreak that brought her to me rips my heart like nothing I have ever known.  

Please pray for Lillee and her birth parents.  I pray one day they could know that she was adopted by a family that loves her so very much!

The Clothes We Sent Were Too Small!

7/3/2014

We sent another package to Lillee this week.  We have only seen pictures of her super bundled and really cannot judge her size.  So, I sent her two little sleeveless bubble outfits, one was size 12 months and one was size 18 months.  She is only 11 months so I figured at least one of the outfits would fit.  WRONG!!  :)  I got the following email this morning and  had to laugh!  

“….. so sorry for the clothes is too tight on her ,she can not wear.”
