Well, it's only been about 4 months since my last post...and so much has happened. Quick recap on the past months...I went to China, we got LID (log in date), we received referral for our son! Yes, we have a son waiting for us in Gansu province! Here is Sam...
How cute is he! We are so excited to go get him! We are at the stage in the adoption where we are awaiting LOA (letter of acceptance). People keep asking when we will get to travel to get him and my response is "hopefully by Christmas". It is my selfish desire to have Sam home by then, but I really want to wait for God's perfect timing. He has proven faithful and so I trust Him to make us a family of 5 at just the right time. Some days it's harder to trust, but I need to remember that He is never early and never late!
In the meantime, we pray for God to be at work preparing us for Sam and him for us. We are having fun buying Batman jammies and basketball shorts. This boy is going to be a playa! Brooks wants to teach him all the sports ;-) and Emily wants to snuggle him...get in line! We cherish the pictures and videos that we have of him. It's crazy to be in love with someone you've never met and feel such a longing for them. We continue to be filled with God's peace and are so thankful to be on this journey with Him.
Hopefully, the next blog won't take 4 months! Oops!
