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!
