RA Call TODAY...Here She is!

How sweet it is to finally be able to share her face with you!!! This is the picture that the LORD first used to capture our hearts.
If you look at our timeline on the left side of the page you will notice that we sent our dossier (big packet of info about us) to China (which is known as DTC) on October 12, 2007. And now - TODAY - October 12, 2009 we have that long-awaited phone call telling us that we have Referral Acceptance (RA)!
What a joy it is to share the LORD's answer to our prayers - though it may not have been in the timing of our choosing or even in the way in which we thought at the beginning of this journey - He is GOOD! She has a family and we have a daughter all because of His faithfulness. His adoption of us is all the more real on this day. He seeks out His sons and daughters and He waits for them with His everlasting love.
More to come...

Hi Missy! It's me, Mari from the Panyu group - I'm also awaiting TA for our little girl, who by the way we're naming Abby too! How funny is that?? I noticed your blog on one of your posts so I thought I'd hop on over here and say hi and CONGRATS!! God willing we'll have our little girls home before Christmas!
