Hey everyone!
No depressing news on this blog tonight!! This part of the rollercoaster is over!! Praise God, literally!
Tonight we learned that our home study glitches are going to be fixed within a week and sent to immigration to be on the safe side. Also, our adoption specialist submitted the necessary paperwork we had been waiting for, and today we received news that our dossier is LID-- logged in dossier!!!!! For those new to adoption lingo, this is HUGE news!! With all the paperwork in and with an LID, we should soon have our special needs conference call with the China team at Bethany and be eligible for matching-- hopefully starting in September!! We also have a neat history of matching birthday dates in our family, and though this isn't a birthday, we will still always remember that we had our LID on my mother-in-law, Marilyn's, birthday. :)
Also, we learned that we received a grant from the Sparrow Fund which will cover the cost of a medical review of our child's health profile. Things are definitely looking up. What a difference a week can make.
Thank you all for all the prayers, chats, cards, etc. They have encouraged us more than you could possibly know. God's timing is everything, and we know He'll wait for the right time to match us with our little one, too. The match could be next month or a year from next month, but hopefully sooner rather than later. Please keep praying for us and our little one as we await the match!! Time to celebrate!!!!! :)
Thank you, everyone, for your support! We love you!!
Blessings,
Jenn --and I speak for Howie, too. :)
