With a continued delay in our paperwork, it is highly unlikely that Caroline will be home with us for Christmas. Despite this disappointment, our family still has much to thank God for as we approach Thanksgiving. We are thankful for:
- 2 precious daughters, one here and one in China
- a trip to China to look forward to in the new year
- a supportive extended family who is as excited to meet Caroline as we are
- friends who are interested in our adoption, pray for us and continually ask
how the process is going
- a church family that ministers to us often during this trial of waiting
- the anticipation of watching our two girls play together soon
- a faithful God who walks this trial with us and renews us daily
"The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am
helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song."
Psalm 28:7
I hope to post with good news about travel very soon!

I have been following your blog as a fellow client of AWAA. We brought our SN daughter home last Dec. and I have been right where you are; waiting. It is so hard. I remember well last year on November 6 a whole bunch of TA's came into to AWAA and ours didn't and we were LID before all of the people who got their TA's. I was devastated. Our FC (who is no longer there), told us not to expect our TA before the new year and we got it 14 days later! (This was right before the days of LOA.) I'm hoping your LOA and TA comes so soon. It seems like you and Caroline have been waiting for a long time. We plan on adopting through AWAA again and we will be requesting a baby with a condition a lot like Caroline's. You can check out our site at www.myadoptionwebsite.com/ourclaire
BTW, Caroline is beautiful and so is Sarah Grace.

We just started waiting for our LOA and are probably in for a long wait as well! The only comfort I have is that God knows when we will go to China to get our daughter and I have to accept that! This waiting seems to be a lot harder because there is now a child involved, a sweet face that I sit and look at...more difficult than I thought it would be. Thank you for your encouragement and faithfulness...come on LOA's!!!
I'm praying for you. This wait has been too long for you.
sending you more hugs and prayers today. I know this wait has got to be so hard for you.
