We are waiting for our Home Study Report to be finalized. It is in the Rough Draft phase between our Home Study agency and our Adoption Agency. Waiting is HARD! We know we've passed and all, but waiting for paperwork to go through the proper channels and it's out of our control is TOUGH! We are so ready to have our little girl home, yet we are still so far away in our process, it seems. Once we have the final report of the Home Study, our paperwork will then bounce from Washington's government and then to San Francisco to the Consulate. This is about a 3-4 month process, all said and done, and THEN our paperwork will head to China for it's process there (based on current wait times). In the mean time, Jay and I will have things to do here and there as far as paperwork goes, for the adoption process, but for now.... we wait.
It occurred to me to make a thermometer that shows the total of what has been raised so far in our journey. We've had people donate on our Crowdrise site, donate in person, by mail and by PayPal, so I haven't been able to show a running total raised so far.... until now. :)

We are also selling shirts and our first round of orders have arrived and been delivered! I'm getting ready to send in another BIG order on Monday. Let me know if you want in on it!
God is so good and He continues to provide at every step of the way. Every time payment is due, the money is there! We are so humbled and thankful to everyone who continues to support us through prayer and financially along the way! We canNOT wait for you to meet our little girl! Lord-willing (and a faster adoption process), we will have her home before the end of 2016).
