Letter of Approval

In the world of international adoption, there seems to be a million acronyms.   It was a new language to us and at times seemed very much like Chinese!
Yesterday, on the first day of the Chinese New Year, we had great cause to celebrate.

WE RECEIVED OUR LOA!

The LOA is the Letter of Approval from China naming us as the parents of a Beautiful and Lovely little girl.  To celebrate we went out for Mexican food :)  and began filling out immigration paperwork and we Rejoiced.

The Father is faithful to gather his children from the east and the west.

"Do not be afraid, for I am with you.  I will gather your children from east and west."  Isaiah 43:5

Introducing our China doll,  picture below, our baby sister and our baby daughter.  

Travel dates are yet to be set but we will meet her this spring.  God is FAITHFUL to finish what He starts.  Please continue to pray for His hands on all the plans to come, and for a little heart so very far away that will have some big changes as she joins the Hill tribe !
