"Little Stinker"

Update

We received an update today on Isaiah.  He has changed so much.  He has lost his "baby" look and now looks like a little boy.  He is walking on his own and potty training.  Mosquitos are really rampant there right now and foster family says if he gets bit, his skin gets very inflamed so they are trying to prevent it.  He has been in foster care for 5 months now.  I can't wait to meet him!

Final Document

CCAI finally received our I-797 today.  Now, our dossier is in translation and should hopefully be finished early next week.

Our Son...

Our son is 17 months old at this time and is in Luoshan Orphanage in China.  We are anxiously waiting for the day we can hold him "forever in our arms."  John 14:18 I will not leave you here as orphans...I will come to you.  God has blessed our family so much and I thank him every day.  Psalm 127:3 Children are a gift from God...They are his reward.  God has given us 5 beautiful gifts and we love them so much.

Where We Are....In The Process.

Right now we are waiting on DTC, which is Dossier To China(13 compiled documents that has to be sent to China).  Once China receives our Dossier, then we get a Log In Date, and our time officially starts then.  Usually, travel is 4-5 months after LID(Log In Date).  We received our last document, I-797 on May 13, 2011 and it is on its way for certification, authentication, then to our agency, CCAI in CO.  From there, all of those documents go to CHINA! 

Here We Go Again!

We returned home from China with Caden on Nov. 20, 2010.  In January I was looking on CCAI's website which I never do.....and I fell in love with this beautiful boy.  My heart was already connected.  I prayed to God realizing this was not logical, and wondering myself...What am I doing?  And how in the world am I going to convince my dear husband.  I requested his file, and later my SIL told me "they just put him on there."  I began preparing my husband by showing him videos and together our hearts break.  So, the next day I sprung the news on him, and Yes, he thought I'd lost my mind because 1.  this is our 5th child and 2. we just got home from China with our son.  Needless to say, I shed A LOT of tears that week, NO SLEEP that week, and A LOT of prayer!  The last day my husband took the file with him to work...And this was my prayer..."God, if it is meant for us to have this child then change Josh's heart and mind; and if it is not then please help me to get over him,  let him go, and move on."  Well, when Josh got home that day, I anxiously wanted an answer.  So he said "YES!"  Well, he really said email the lady at CCAI and tell her OK lol.
