LOA IS HERE!!!

I think for once, I AM SPEECHLESS! We received an email yesterday that literally made me scream out loud! We received our Letter of Approval for both Emma and Estella! Which means that China completed the process of looking through our paperwork and declared that we were approved to adopt both girls! It truly is a miracle, as our paperwork has only been logged into the system since 2/11/11!! That is 3 weeks!!!! I think our agency was caught off guard as well! To put it into perspective, we waited a long agonizing 124 days for Noah's Letter of Approval! And we got both LOA's for our girls in 3 weeks!!! This journey, this leap of faith, this go against the grain, this narrow path to these 2 gifts has been so amazing and so clear this time around that if I could reach up and give God a giant hug right now, well that is exactly what I would do! A GOD HUG!!!

So we are nearing the end of the paper craze and the next steps are out of our hands, but some what predictable. Most people usually get their Travel Approval with in 8 weeks of Letter of Approval which means we will be in China some time in May or June! Exactly what I had hoped and prayed for! Prayers Answered and soon, very soon our girls will be home!

Thank you all for your prayers and support for our family! It sure makes life a lot less "crazy" when you wake up each morning and just knowing that some one, some where has lifted your family up in prayer!
