P.S.

Just a little note for you ladybug watchers. On Sunday we found a ladybug on our patio. We said, Could this mean.......??? Then on Monday we got our TA!!

WE GOT TA!!!!!

Believe it or not, we got our TA on October 22!! I was so surprised! I thought it would be at least another couple of weeks. We are leaving to get our baby on November 6th!! I'm on cloud 9! It was like a 14 month pregnancy and now I'm in labor. I am going to try to download pics from China and keep our blog updated so everyone can see our little Johanna Joy. Please pray that the Lord prepares her precious heart for her new family and her new life. I get teary knowing how difficult this is going to be for her. Please keep us in prayer also for safe travels. And for our other kids while we are separated from them.

Well, I haven't posted in awhile. I was too stressed out over the adoption, wondering if it was even going to happen. We ended up waiting 111 days for our LOA! It was quite a test of patience, but it finally arrived on Oct. 2 Now we will just wait about a month for our TA and then we can set up our consulate appointment and go get our baby! Well, she's now more a toddler than baby! She will be turning two on Oct 30th. I just can't wait to see what she looks like! For the past year we have only had the picture of her at 5 months old. We have her room completed and lots of clothes purchased. And I just got my Ergo Baby Carrier! I just cant believe that we will really be there soon!
