We have decided to start this blog in order to keep our friends and family updated on what is happening in the process of bringing Gracie home from China. We began this process 2 years ago, and on May 13 of this year, we finally got the call that we had a daughter! She was 7 months old at that time. We were thrilled! From that point on, there were only 2 more things we needed from China in order to be able to go get her. The first was an LOA (Letter of Acceptance), which came quickly on June 2nd. Next, all we needed was Travel Approval. That FINALLY came, and we found out that we will be China bound on August 7th! Gracie will be in our arms on August 10th. This is a very significant time of the year for us considering that we lost one of our daughters to cancer on August 9th four years ago. We believe this is just Hanna's (click here) way of smiling down on us and letting us know that she’s looking out for her little sister. We are now only days away from meeting our daughter! It’s really amazing how in love we have all fallen with this little girl that we only have one small picture of and is half way around the world. But, our G-- is an amazing G--! We are thrilled beyond words that He has chosen this child to be a part of our family. What an honor! We cannot wait to meet her and hold her FOREVER!!
Feel free to check back as we will be journaling our experiences in China.
