We are in the process to bring home our second daughter from China.
On The Wings of Destiny
Somehow destiny comes into play. These children end up with you and you end up with them. We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life. But those who make their journey home across time & miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them, are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands.
We have been so busy lately, I feel bad I haven't had the time to post the excited news that we have officially got the ball rolling now. On October 23rd, we mailed our application off to A Helping Hand. Jenna was so excited, she has been (helping) with Leah's paper work gathering for weeks and has been hounding for us to go mail it off. So on Saturday October23rd we drove up to the post office and she carried her sister's papers and placed them in the big mail box! She was so cute about it. Since then we have our first home study scheduled for November 15th and we have went to be finger printed for our FBI clearances. Most of my collecting of paper work in done already. I'm just waiting on new copies of our birth certificates, the FBI clearances to come back and our physicals our schedule for the first part of December. Anyone who knows me knows I like to be prepared and get things done, so I try to kill out most of that paper work in a few days. Jenna really enjoyed looking at her papers from her adoption, it helped her see how the process works, she has a excellent understanding of it all. We are hoping to be DTC (date to China) at the end of January, then our wait for Leah's picture will begin. Hopefully like other families we know it will only be a month or so after that when we see her beautiful face. The whole process will be much shorter then Jenna's adoption.
I'm so excited! I'm very happy that you are able to incorporate Jenna into much of the work. I think it will give her a huge appreciation for what has to happen to bring a new little one into the family. I'm so excited to see Leah...come on picture day! =)
