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.

To catch you up to date...After deciding to adopt Lily and receiving Pre-approval from the Chinese Government, we started our homestudy visits in March, 2010.  Our last homestudy visit was in May, after fingerprinting, background checks, physicals,  final approval from our agency, our homestudy was finally sent to DCFS in Illinois on July 13, 2010.  The wait for approval from DCFS varies, but according to a  China adopt chat group, the wait right now is 8-12 weeks!!  This is only the first step in a long process.  We hope to get her before she turns 10!! LOL.  Praying for a quick approval from DCFS.
In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. (Philippians 4:6)
