Another Quarterly Kameron Update

Every three months, we get to send a list of up to 10 questions and a request for updated pictures of Kameron. We like to involve the boys in this and they love sitting around the table discussing Kameron's answers. They have really embraced this opportunity to learn more about him! We have had lots of giggles as we learn that Kameron is so much like Jesse Jay!

This time, not only did we get to learn more about him and receive a new batch of photos, but we got a video as well! It's a 6 second video in which he is speaking to us. Thanks to our fantastic adoption agency, we know now what he was telling us! We must have watched the video a hundred times each. Jesse Jay loves that Kameron, despite being double his age, is only 4 inches taller than him. Toby loves that his favorite animal is a goat. Noah likes looking at his pictures and calling him "Bubba!"

Kameron in China July 2015

Many people ask where we are in the adoption progress. We are still awaiting our Dossier to be completed from "in translation" and move into the "review" process. Once they are done reviewing it, we hope, to receive Letter of Approval or LOA for short. Once we receive LOA, we start planning our trip to China! We hope to be traveling late Fall to adopt him and bring him home.

The hold up is that moving from "in translation" to "review," is currently taking a bit longer in China. Also, we cannot start expediting the process to move things forward more quickly, until after Jesse officially loses his job (not till the end of this month). So we are in a bit of a holding pattern. Jesse and I are completing all documents ahead of time, education hours, grant applications, etc that we can get done now. We are also, loving on these boys of ours as we prepare bringing Kameron home.


We also have launched our quilt give-away fundraiser to help raise the funds needed for the adoption. We have been donated a beautiful, extremely well made, queen sized quilt that is truly a piece of art. Each time I look at it, I find something new I love about it. For every $5 dollar donation made, you get a single entry. So if you donate 50 dollars, you get 10 entries. If you share the link on your Facebook, you get a single entry. We will be drawing a winner on September 4th, 2015 in the evening. The winner will have the quilt brought to them if they are local in Idaho. Otherwise it will be shipped to you. Follow the link if you are interested in helping us with our cause.

Thanks for the love, support, words of encouragement and prayers that continue to sustain us during this long waiting period of our adoption journey.

Love,
