Since we last updated our blog a lot has happened!! We were sent a file of a little boy on August 5th. After lots of prayer and talking with a few doctors we felt this little guy was our boy!! Meet Sawyer!
We submitted our LOI (Letter of Intent) to adopt this sweet boy. After that it seems like everything went along quickly. We had several more steps in the paper chase to finish up. We had to send our passports off to get a Visa to go to China and more WAITING! Our Article 5 was dropped off in China on Sept 20...then there was the National Holiday in China from Oct 1-7 so that put us back a week. Our Article 5 was finally picked up on Oct 13 and just a few days later on Oct 19 we had TA (TRAVEL APPROVAL)!!
Now here we are ONE week away from leaving for China!! We leave on Nov 3rd to make the long journey to bring this sweet boy home! We will be in China for 2 weeks finalizing everything.
Please keep all of us in your prayers the next few days and especially as we are in China. Just Jarred and I are traveling to pick up Sawyer, so our other kiddos will be here with family. I will try to update again before we leave with our itinerary so you'll know how to be in prayer specifically as we are in China.
