800 Approval

                                                One Handsome Boy

 We have our 800 approval as of today!  With a few glitches, it will be processed and onto the National Visa Center where we await the famous GUZ #.  This number will attach to the next document which will be the boy's immigrant visas which are processed at the US consulate in Chxna!  We are getting so close!  From there only one more paper from the Chxnese government and travel approval!!!!!!  Still praying for MARCH travel!!!!

   All these photos were taken on Feb 4 when another family so graciously hand delivered a package to our son, Feng Nianjie.  Our agency is not just a adoption agency, it's an extended family.  We love on each other's children before their mama's and daddies can hold them!  Thank you Krista!  Here on of the nannies is looking over the photo album we sent with and awaiting the days till they can see their sweet princess Huahua again.  They specifically asked for her to return with us when we pick up her brother.

 Michael, in the blue coat, was our guide/interpreter last time.  He loves the children and truly cares for them as they unite with their forever families.

 Some of his favorite things were the bubble gum and chocolate.  I sure hope he shared with his friends, because we sent a lot for him!

This is him chewing his gum and coloring at the same time.  Notice the lips!!!

Now, Most families come down to crunch time with finances.  We have blessed by many donations.  First the boys closets are almost complete ALL WITH DONATIONS!  Praise God!!! We had given all the older boys clothes away years ago, not knowing God would have us Adopting TWO boys, but he is faithful to provide for our family!  I love to see how the body of Christ comes together to bring our sons home.  On the financial front we have only $13,000 to close the gap for our travel expenses.  Our in country Travel time may be up to three weeks, as we will be in each boy's province to "meet them and adopt" for up to a week.  Then unto the Guangzhou for the consulate and medical appointments.  I look back to Huahua's gotcha day just a year ago and wow, what an incredible joy and blessing we are allowed to be called these two boys' parents!    Please pray how you might walk along side us as we close the remaining financial need.
