We got the call Friday, 11/22/13, that we are officially DTC, or Dossier to China! Woohoo! This means that in a few weeks we should have official approval from the Chinese government to adopt a child from them! At that point we will be considered Logged In and will begin receiving referrals/files of children that match the special needs profile we filled out earlier in the process! We are hoping to be able to put a face to the name God gave us for our daughter to her face very soon.
I want to clarify, if any of you have noticed, I have been writing in the singular, as in ONE daughter. While we got amazingly exciting news this week, we also received some very hard news as well. The agency we are working with is no longer allowing families to adopt two children at one time and thus we will not be able to bring home both of our girls in one trip. We are STILL adopting two little girls, our time frame has just been altered. We will have to complete the adoption of one of our girls first, come home with her, and then wait 6 months before starting all over again to bring home our second little Chinese princess.
We would very much appreciate your prayers as we continue to walk with God on this journey. The news hit us hard, but we are just clinging even more to Jesus to give us strength to cope with the change. Prayer for guidance and clarity would be much appreciated and for the right perspective on the situation.
Hopefully we will have pictures of our daughter to share very soon!
