Exciting things

So, as I stated in the previous post, we had some things happen this month. We've had some ups, we've had some downs. And we've had a really exciting past two weeks!
 Less than two weeks after we had to deny a referral of a little girl, we got another referral. This one was for an amazing little one year old girl. And she is so precious, the cutest little thing you ever did see! And we fell in love. So, after less than a week consulting with a couple of doctors, praying, talking with family and friends and praying some more, we decided that we would love to bring this little girl home. After turning in a letter of intent to adopt this little one and waiting another week, China sent us our pre-approval. This means that they agree to let us apply to adopt this specific little girl. So, with great excitement, we introduce to you....

So, you see why we are praying hard for things to get moving along with our home study and uscis approval?!? We are just a little bit in a hurry to bring this little girl home. Please join us in praying for things to speed up. Please pray for little Carissa. For her heart to be prepared for this journey ahead for her, for her to be in good health and spirits. And please pray that she will be joining our family sooner than later. :o)
