Prayer needed

My Tegan needs your prayers right now! We just received word from Bethel that Tegan's orphange has come and taken her back there. She has been living at Bethel since 2008 (2yrs old). She is 5 1/2 right now and has to be lost and hurting. This has me so upset for her! Please pray!

New pictures of Piper

The package Ann sent for us.

Cute face!

Look at her dirty knees. She has been playing hard.

Mama can't wait to kiss your crooked mouth!

I sent a package to Piper through Ann at Red Threads and she sent me new pictures of our girl!

Family

This sweet girl loves her family and loves pointing out other families when we are out and about.
She says, "I love my family and my family loves me!

A few weeks ago in AWANA she drew a picture of her family and included Tegan and Piper!
I love this sweet girl and am so blessed to be called her Mama!
Thank you God. :)

I-800A approval for 2 & DTC

I had to file for I-800A approval again because our first was just for 1 child. So we got our approval for 2 children on 12/29/2011. Also our documents have gone to China already so we are officially waiting on our LOA! This is the long wait! We waited for Bronwyn's for 2 1/2 months.

PA for Tegan!

Tegan 10/2011

One of the 1st pictures I saw of her almost a year ago and knew she had to be our next daughter.

We got Pre-approval from China today for Tegan!
 She was 5 years old in November. She was abandoned when she was 2 months old and placed in an orphange. In 2008 she went to live at Bethel home for blind children. She is currently learning English and does really well. Her chinese name "Rong" means aromatic, like a lotus seed paste and "Yuan" means the hope that she is fat and round, favorable.

Matched

We have been matched with Tegan (Rong Yuan) and are now waiting for PA.

We have been waiting months for this news and our daughter has been waiting 5 years to be part of a family. I hate to think if I hadn't seen her picture and persued her paper work to be filed, how much longer would she have waited! I am so glad the wait is coming to an end soon!

Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait  for him. (Isaiah 64:4)

Tegan's Paper Work

It has been confirmed with our agency that Tegan's paper work is finally at the CCCWA, after 10 months of waiting!  Now we are waiting to be matched with her and then we can send in letter of intent. Which then China will grant pre-approval and we can finally be documents to China!
Thank you God for answering our prayers for our daughter!

Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe in who He says he is and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)
