Moving Right Along

By -
Things are starting to move more quickly around here, after that long, long wait for our I-800a! We received our Letter Seeking Confirmation (LSC or "Soft LOA") on January 22nd, after only 24 days (we were anticipating closer to two months). We received our official LOA on February 1st, and signed and mailed it back to say YES to China on February 8th.  Our I-800 form to USCIS, which is asking for approval to adopt this specific child, Bennett, made it to the lockbox on February 8th. It will take a few weeks for I800 Approval, then we will move into applying for our son's visa  and then getting travel approval!


We are so thankful for receiving a $3000 grant from our church, Journey Church, from their J1:27 Ministry, called The Chosen Project grant! We are really thankful to be partners in a church that puts such a high value on Jesus's call to care for orphans (James 1:27). 

Estimated travel to China now looks like April at the earliest, sooner than expected! It might be May based on some other things we have going on, though. There are a lot of mountains to move between now and then, in addition to meeting each milestone to come in the China process. Traveling sooner means we need to come up with our orphanage donation and travel fees sooner, so here are some ways we are working to get those together and ways you can help if you are led to do so!

Day 15: Home!

By -

DFW- Landing in DFW we had some challenges with timing and weather. We ended up not being able to get on our flight that would be getting in Friday night. Mackenzie’s parents were watching our pets and house and would be there, but my extended family who were in Charleston had to head back on Saturday morning. So we missed them, but were able to get a flight in the morning to get back that Saturday afternoon/evening. That made for some challenges for sure, but we don’t know what God’s plan was for that day or how he might have been working on our behalf or through those challenges that day. Bailor did well on the final flight. And he only cried a little when we got him in his car seat for the ride home so we appreciated that for sure. We were finally home. Bailor took well to his new surroundings. He was concerned with the pets for a little while, but he loves his pets now. We had some weird sleep patterns the next few days, but it didn’t take too long to adjust. Such a blessing and ...

Day 4: Gotcha Day!

By -

This day was special because it was Mackenzie’s birthday and Gotcha Day!! We enjoyed our last dining together as a non parenting couple at the extensive breakfast buffet at our hotel. As the other buffet did it had a mix of Chinese fare and Western fare. One item we found interesting is that all the buffets had baked beans.  I know, I know, no one cares about the baked beans- on to Bailor!  We met with the other couple the Miller’s who were also getting a child from Nanjing. We all loaded up in the van and drove to an indescript government building where you go if you are 1. Adopting or 2. Getting married if you are a Chinese citizen marrying a non- Chinese citizen. (Fun pictures to follow) We were early, but the government officials who would help us with paperwork showed up soon. First things first they turned on the air conditioner unit so we wouldn’t melt. :-) Then we started to prepare as our guide told us the paperwork we would do and how we could as...

Day 6: Orphanage Visit & Nanjing Museum

The next morning we hit the buffet again and headed to the orphanage. We were slightly concerned about this since we had bonded well and weren’t sure how Bailor would react to seeing the other kids and the nannies again. Overall it went well. We finally got to see that muticolor puzzle piece floored room we had seen so much of in pictures. We saw some of the kids we recognized in Bailor’s videos too. The orphanage staff was even nice enough to allow Mackenzie to take some pictures of kids that were going to be adopted by people on the Facebook group Mackenzie was a part of. When we did have to leave Bailor did cry, but a lollipop later he was back in our good graces. Before we left we got our picture in front of the orphanage with the assistant orphanage director and most interesting we got to see the safe room attached to the orphanage where mothers can safely abandon their babies. This is where Bailor was found and they showed us a newspaper article showing Bailor as the first child...
