Still Waiting!

We are still waiting on our I-800A approval, still praying it comes any day.  All of our other documents are ready and waiting- come on USCIS PLEASE send us this document so that we can hopefully secure a Mid-December Log In Date.

On a positive note, our fundraising breakfast this past Saturday went very well.  Thanks to everyone who attended and worked the event, we love and appreciate you all!  We have now moved full force into T-Shirt sales, so if you or anyone you know is interested e-mail me - our designs are listed below in a previous post, as is my e-mail address.

As we head into Thanksgiving I would just like to say that I am Thankful for all of God's blessings, and this year in particular the "little ones".  Lana is such a blessing, she makes my heart swell with pride and love on a daily basis and I am sure that Lin Mei will be no different.  I cannot wait until I can hold that precious child in my arms and show her how much she is loved.  Thank you God for being so good and for showing us the important things in life.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with precious memories.

Waiting...

We traveled to the USCIS office in Charlotte on Wednesday to have our fingerprints done, now we are just waiting for our I800-A approval...I pray that it comes quickly!  All of our other documents have been authenticated and have been forwarded to the adoption agency, as soon as we have this approval our documents will be submitted to China.  We are praying for a late Nov / early Dec Log in Date (LID).
Things are moving along steadily but some days it seems like it is taking forever - those of you who have been through this before can relate. 

Thankfully we have Lana to keep us busy :o).  She is doing great in Kindergarten by the way and seems to really enjoy school.  We have been gathering items for a care package that we will send to Lin Mei once we have a confirmed LID and the other day she picked out the sweetest stuffed kitten to send to her - I think I am going to include this photo in the book we are going to send to her...Lana handing her the kitten :o)

Fundraising Breakfast Just 2 Weeks Away!

As you know, we have an ALL YOU CAN EAT Pancake Breakfast planned for Saturday, November 19th at Fatz Restaurant in Shelby, NC.  As of right now we are struggling to sell enough tickets to hold that event.  If you or anyone you know would be interested in purchasing a ticket, they are $8.00 each and you can reachout to me by e-mail at tbmcfarland75@yahoo.com to purchase them.

Thanks for your continued prayers and support.
