God has given us a heart for the waiting children in China (there are now over 2000 waiting for a family! Could it be yours?). We (Bryan, Donna & Zach) are adopting a little girl who is 3 from Changsha, China. We have decided to name her Lily. While we are waiting, and waiting, and waiting for the red tape to go through, I decided to start this blog so our friends and family could follow along. We will probably be traveling around April 2011.



"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord," plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11.

LOA!! LOA!! LOA!! LOA!! LOA!! LOA!! LOA!! LOA!! LOA!!

 I am so excited!! Today we received our LOA (letter of acceptance/letter seeking confirmation) from CHINA!!  What does this mean? China has approved all of our paperwork and we are approved to adopt little Lily!  So on to the next steps.....Petition to classify adoptee as an immediate relative, VISA application, Travel approval and then Consulate appointment in China....This should take approximately 3-4 months.  We are finally going to China! Celebrate with us!  God is good all the time..... Please turn off music on player at bottom of page before watching below music! Celebrate! Our God is an awesome God!
