WE HAVE LOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been a crazy, exciting and hectic month! A few weeks ago, I received a phone call from our agency, calling to let us know that they have our LOA. You may be asking yourself, what's an LOA??? An LOA is a Letter Of Acceptance from China. It means that they reviewed all of our paperwork and approved it! It came really fast, so fast that it took the agency by surprise too, 3 months early!!!! Paul was on a business trip, so excited and feeling numb, I called him! The next day via Fed Ex it arrived at our home. I had to wait for Paul to return from his business trip to sign it. I found myself pacing back and forth, looking at it, re-reading it, the English part that is....Wow...there it is! Hurry home, Paul! I spent a few days compiling the information that USCIS needed to review our paperwork, so they can approve Hunter's Visa and allow him to become a citizen of the United States. After I sent it off, I noticed there was an error on the address of USCIS given by our agency. Ugh, I thought....no!!! All of our paperwork out of our hands! I kept checking the tracking number, finally it said delivered. The post office obviously knew it was going to USCIS, so they most likely sent it forward. Talk about a STRESSFUL moment!!!!!!!! We're currently waiting for their approval. We should know something in a few weeks. Once again, the pacing back and forth! One exciting thing that happened this week was a grant from our agency! What a wonderful blessing! Every little bit counts, especially since it's 3 months earlier than anticipated. God has a plan, he knows why and when! We're trusting him with the last financial part! Please be praying for us on this, we really appreciate and covet your prayers, also please pray for Hunter. Pray that God will not only prepare our hearts for him, but his heart for us! He doesn't know us, it'll be all new to him! We also ask prayer for healing upon Hunter, he has clubfeet. He had surgery and casting, they're slowly turning, he's wearing a brace at night and a AFO during the day. We're very excited to bring him home and help him with his daily needs.
