It's a boy!...(at least that's the plan)

For those of you still wondering what the last post is about...we are adopting again!  We are expanding our brood to 5!  We will be adopting a little boy from China!   We are all very thrilled and can hardly wait to bring him home!  Our agency expects us to have a proposal within a few months of having a Log In Date.



We only recently began the process and are still in the beginning stage...frantically getting all our paperwork ready.  Our criminal checks, medicals, child abuse checks have all been completed. For the most part the process is the same as a few years ago, however, we now need letters from each of our kids' teachers and a letter from each of our references.  Fortunately most of the info on our previous home study is the same, which will help speed up the process a bit.  We will likely need one more visit from our social worker and then our dossier can be sent to our agency.  As usual, this stage of the adoption process can not pass quickly enough!  Our kids are just as impatient...they insisted we needed to share our news NOW and not wait until we have a proposal.  Would you mind keeping us in your prayers?  Thanks a bunch!
