GOD is AWESOME ! ! !

LOA . . . Baby ! ! !

We received our LOA today. For all of you who don't know the adoption lingo that is our Letter of Acceptance from China. It is the official confirmation that we are Sophie's parents and need travel approval to come get her! The agency says from now we are looking at a max of 5 - 8 weeks of being on a plane heading to pick up our baby girl! Hold on Sophie ... Moma is coming!!!!

I cannot begin to tell you the power or presence of God that I feel right now. On a day that my heart is still breaking God once again offered me a comfort beyond all measure. He gives me hope and something great to hang on for... my sweet baby girl who needs me so badly. Thanks be to a God who loves me so much that He provides for me in my daily life as well as my eternal one.

I know that I serve a God who loves me more than could ever be expressed in words!

Hang on Sophie: cause Moma, daddy, & Bailee are coming for you SOON!!!!

Love and Blessings,

Tammy

Mail Surprise ! ! !

We received an update in the mail from our adoption agency on sweet Sophie girl today! It was a completed packet of the referral info we had already downloaded from the file they had sent us last week. However, it also had some extras... It has Sophie's immunization record. She has had all her shots and is up-to-date on them all! Praise God! Poor Bailee had to have soooooo many shots when we got home with him and he was not a happy little guy when we would get in the car to go that direction! So maybe Sophie won't have to fight that battle! We also have information on how to send Sophie her first care package from us. We get to send her an outfit, pictures of us (her family) :-) , toys, blanket, food treats, etc... It cannot be much but it is something from us! So we are excited to put that together for her this week. Please continue to pray for her safety, health care, and nurture. We are so thankful! God is so good!

P.S. The front page of the booklet said "Congratulations on your new daughter" and had her little face in the middle of the page. So sweet!!! I just love hearing that.... I have a daughter! :-)

Love you all,

Tammy
