Good morning from the beach! A lot has happened with our adoption and with a sick Cayden, Summer Spectacular, and packing and getting to the beach, I haven't had time to write a post.
We were given a referral for a beautiful 16-month old girl on June 8th. After lots of prayer, Dr. McGehee reviewing her medical records, and Neal, the boys, and I making a "Team-D" decision, we filed our LOI (Letter of Intent) (6/21/12) with the CCCWA. We are so excited to know what she looks like!
I must admit that at the pool yesterday I kept looking at kids around her age and asking the parents how old their child is. Holy cow! She's young! At least she'll have two great big brothers who seem very willing to take care of her. I love that age and it is going to be a GREAT adventure. When we receive PA (Pre-Approval), I believe I can share her photo. We may have to wait for our LOA (Letter of Approval) first though. I'll find out. They are saying that may take up to 100 days. Still a time to wait but she will eventually be here.
Next year, one more set of feet in the pic;)
This blog has been started so that our friends and family can follow along with us as we go through the process of finding our little girl in China.
Chelsea's Help International
Introducing: Chelsea’s Help International – Helping Orphans in China
We had fun playing with the kids at the Zhongshan Childrens Welfare Institute (ZCWI). The ZCWI is one of 56 orphanages in the province of Guangdong . The ZCWI is home to over 300 children. We wanted to do something for the place that gave Chelsea a home for the first 2 years of her life. We plan to send shipments over a couple of times a year. We want to start by sending soccer balls to our friends at the ZCWI. If you would like to help, send your contributions to:
CHI
PO BOX 2633
Ruston, LA 71272.
We would like to send by April 1, 2013. Thanks for sharing.
