Dossier is Done!!

"Hot diggity dog!!!" as Ava would say!  Our dossier is put together and on it's way to Oregon where Holt's main office is.  Once there, they will take care of getting all the paperwork authenticated and certified.  If memory serves me correctly this part took approximately a month last go around, so if all goes well our paperwork will be on its way to China in a month!  Cannot wait!!  One more BIG step closer :)

We are getting more and more excited to meet Baby.  Matt and I have been talking about names and dreaming about who they might be or what they might look like.  We are constantly talking to Ava about her little brother or sister and even though she doesn't really understand, we think she's excited too :)  It's so hard to know that Baby is most likely already in an orphanage, already going through more in their little life than any of us ever have to endure, already searching for love, and already wondering if there's anyone out there who can meet their needs consistently...time cannot go fast enough until we have you in our arms Baby.

Baby F we pray for you constantly that you are loved, safe, have a shelter over your head, cuddled and hugged often, fed, have a warm place to lay your head, can go outside and enjoy the sunlight, have other kids around to listen to and learn from, that you smile and laugh, and that you know that we are coming to get you as soon as we can...once we have you in our arms we are never letting go.  We love you more than you can imagine and haven't even seen your face yet.  Love you Baby F
