LOA (Letter of Approval)

We are excited to announce that we are at Letter of Approval(LOA)! What does this mean? Well, China said, yes! We have in our hands a letter saying yes. All we have to do is sign it and say we accept. Which we have. And it will be shipped to our agency in the morning!

We officially have LOA!! 9/2/15

Now, we begin applying for Visa's and planning our trip. Some of that is still unknown, but we are hoping to travel in November. We get to go to China, soon! Soon Kameron will be home with his forever family.

That's right. Kameron is coming home soon!

Jesse and I feel like there is SO much we have to do. We are spending every moment we can investing into our little ones at home and each other. Jesse is working on paperwork almost every day trying to stay on top of it all. I recently posted on Facebook, about 2 weeks ago, how it was the first time in a long time Jesse and I didn't have paperwork or something we had to do for the adoption. That lasted less than a week! It is such a blessing having Jesse home this year!

We have a few details left, then Kameron's room will be completely ready! Meanwhile, the two older boys start soccer and flag football. Our weekends are booked solid from here until we travel. Goodness. It's a lot! Even this long upcoming holiday weekend is dedicated to x2 solid days of the final training we have to take before we go get Kameron.

Also, we could use some prayer. We still have over $8,000 to raise. We have applied for a couple grants, but we were initially denied one grant. However, we have emailed them about our change in circumstances and they have agreed to re-look at our situation and see if they can do anything more. We are waiting to hear if we have been approved on the second. God is faithful and we know he will provide.

To those of you who have prayed, who have donated, who have encouraged and supported us: Thank you a million times over! Our adoption is already doing awesome things in our family! We are seeing the kindness and support that others have for our family, but also for a complete stranger. What a wonderful way you all are demonstrating God's love to us and especially our children! I cannot wait to explain to Kameron how deeply loved he already is. Not just by us, but by all of you who have helped to bring him home!
