Praising God & next steps...

It has only been 1 month since we accepted Bo into our hearts & we have been truly amazed by all God has done & so quickly to get us to this point. Especially by the generous giving by many of you that has already brought us to over half the funds needed before we can travel.  We are ever so grateful for the sacrifices that you have made to help us bring our son home!

Currently we are nearing the final few steps needed before we are granted travel approval by the CCCWA in China. We have submitted our I-800 paperwork and are awaiting approval from US immigration. (This is the process of the US provisionally approving Bo to be a US citizen through our adoption.) Simultaneously, we have submitted the applications to the Chinese consulate for our China Visas. Lord willing, we should be traveling to meet our sweet Bo by March. Now the hard part... WAIT.

After an intense paper shuffle following our acceptance of Bo's referral, we are now at the point where we have to wait for a series of government clearances on both sides of the ocean ahead of our travel approval from China.  Please continue to pray for Bo and his health. Pray our family would be united soon and that Bo would transition and connect well with us.

We are so excited and give God all the glory for the amazing story He continues to write & how He is knitting our family together. Thank you for all your support and prayers that are being poured out for our family; it has meant so much for us to witness such a great love.
