More Paper Work!!

We are a little tired of all this back and forth paper work, but we understand that's just part of this process. It's just that we are filing out double forms for China, Virginia, Adoption Agency, and Home Study Agency. So we need a lot of prayers that this thing will start moving along a little faster. For some of you, you may not know, but Davis was born with Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate. He had the surgery to repair his lip already and it looks wonderful. He had his palate surgery on July 3, 2007 in Beijing. So he should go home to his foster mother in about another week. We were emailed from the China organization that is taking care of his needs and surgery's, and they said he is doing quite well. It's amazing how far they have come with certain procedures.

We are currently waiting for the USCIS-INS (Homeland Security) to contact us for our fingerprints. It is the most strange thing. We have had our criminal check from the Virginia State Police, our local police and now we have to travel to Norfolk or D.C. for more fingerprints and background check. They should make it as hard to get in this country as it is for us to get out. But again, it's just another process. Hopefully, by the end of August we will have more information to share. Keep your fingers crossed.

What are family does so well is encourage and love unconditionally. God has blessed you both . . .There is no greater love than that for your new son

MY CHILD

My child,
I carried you in my heart
before you were even born
And dared to dream
that you were real.
My child,
I carried your picture with me
since the day I received it,
And dared to love
a child I was yet to meet.
And now, my child,
a dream fulfilled,
a prayer answered,
a family created,
I have dared to become
a mom.
And so now,
my precious child,
I shall carry you
home.
