Traveling sooner than expected...

We got an exciting phone call today from our adoption agency, they received our Letter of Acceptance (LOA)! The original time frame given to us for receiving our LOA was 3-4 months, but things moved along quickly, as it has only been 39 days!

This means that China has accepted our application to adopt Jesse and we can now work on the last leg of our journey.  We, of course, have more paperwork that needs to be completed and we do not have travel dates yet. However, the agency speculates that we will travel around November 15th or December 6th.  This is many months earlier than we had expected and are caught a bit off guard, but God's timing is perfect. So, bring on the next set of paperwork and let's bring him home!

Thank you all for your prayer support.  We are specifically praying for Jesse's heart to soften and be open to accepting us as his new family and for God to comfort him as he grieves all of his losses.
