Waiting....

Waiting is so hard. We know we have too but it just doesn't get easier with each adoption. I had waited my whole life for H. I remember wanting children very early in my life and when she finally became our daughter! WOW!! I didn't think I would ever love another child like her. Then little j. came and I did love someone the same and different. It was the same for L. and now our Ryan David Zheng to complete our family.

We were told last Friday that our LOA (letter of acceptance/approval) was mailed from China. We thought it would arrive on Monday or Tuesday...and here it is Thursday. I am praying for the call this afternoon!

Our agency is Heritage Adoption Services in Oregon. We have been very pleased with them. FTIA was our agency for the other three adoptions so it is different but the end result is the same! We will miss our friends in China through FTIA! We will be able to see a few on the trip but not all of them. We will not be able to go to Beijing due to the Olympics.

Well, hopefully, I will be adding another post this afternoon with great news! I would love some new pictures of our little guy!!!

I trust God and His wisdom in our process and the time that it takes. I pray for His will and not my own! Ryan David, we will be there as soon as we can!

Hugs to All.
Cindy

1-Day Closer, has a nice sound to it.
I love the Wii idea - I threw a few chances to win out there. But as you know its not about the Wii - its all about the new man in your life. Thank-you for letting us be apart of your JOY. We cannot wait to see you J and the girls. And just knowing Zheng Pu is 1 - Day Closer to you makes me smile.
