Formal Application Approved

Our formal application was approved by Bethany Christian Services this week which was one of our first paper chase steps. Next we have to get our home study updated and start working on getting some money stuff in order.

Also, we were interviewed for a local program who was doing a segment on special needs adoption. Click HERE if you'd like to watch. Thank you for all of your support!

A new journey...

It's been about a year since I put anything on here but I think we'll be posting a bit more regularly. First of all because I found an iPad app which means I can work on this without sitting right at my computer. Second, and more importantly, we're beginning the journey to go back to China to bring another child home. We turned our formal application in to Bethany Christian Services and once they've looked it over and approved it, we will begin the long paperwork part of this journey. The first step will be to get our home study updated.

In other news, we added a new dog to our family this weekend. We've named her Sweetie which is turning out to be about the most perfect thing we could have named her.

Happy 4th Birthday to Willem!!!
