Social Worker Visit

Our social worker came to the house on Thursday morning to work on our homestudy update. We have all our paperwork done and are now waiting on her to type up the update. We are sending in our immigration renewal first thing Monday morning. Then we will be on the wait for an appointment in Memphis to get our fingerprints updated. Once all this is done, it will be good for 18 months. Hopefully and prayerfully, God will get us to China for Sophie before the renewal expires. Regardless, we know it is in God's hands! I don't know why He wants us to wait like this but I have to believe it is because He isn't ready for Miss Sophie's debut!

God is Good... All the Time!

PS: Our social worker brought her little girl whom she adopted from China with her for the visit! She is four years old and most beautiful. She loved Rodney! He had a fun time playing with her and making a new friend. They were quite smitten with each other. I can see already that he will be putty in Sophie's little hand!!!

As the Wait Drags On ... Take This!!!

How "Bout That for Reality!!!!

All you who know me can truly understand the CHOCOLATE, huh!

Why today is Really Close to OUR Hearts...

Not only is it Valentine's Day but it is our LID anniversary for Sophie! We have been logged into the China Adoption System for fifteen months now. How many more??? God can only answer that! Let's pray for SOONER not LATER!

Just in case you were wondering and never asked...

No More Shiloh...

Shiloh is gone on to doggie heaven. It happened a few weeks ago and I am just now able to actually type out thse words. If I think about it much the tears flow to freely. It HURTS... we loved him and miss him terribly. Anyway, most of you understand and can relate. Remember our sorrow in your prayers.
