We got our immigration approval in record time! That was an answered prayer. Now, we are in the authentication process. Our paperwork is en route to Alabama's Secretary of State and then off to Houston to the Chinese Consulate. After that, we will be DTC (Dossier to China). Praying for a smooth process and continued peace while we wait. I'm so excited to make progress and feel like we are getting closer to our child.
We've begun listening to a CD to try and learn some Chinese. The kids have picked up on it faster than we have. The phrase that I've picked up on and has stuck in my head is "Bu yao hai pa" sounds like boo yaow hi pah = Don't be afraid. I feel peace that God is comforting me with this phrase. We pray that our child will feel the same peace when we speak it over them.
Wow. That's awesome. I always think its so cool that the angels first words in the Bible are "Don't Be Afraid." Amazing and beautiful to see it in Chinese and to picture you guys speaking it over your new child.
