Baby's Visa

So many people tell me that I don't update this blog often enough. There is not much to update though. Nothing is really happening. We are just waiting for our referral. That should come in about a year. We still need a lot of money and we are still really excited. Sam is still really excited and has planned out his baby sister's whole life for her already. He has decided her favorite color will be purple and she will like swimming with him.

Last weekend we got a big brown envelope from the China Consulate in DC. It was pretty exciting. In the envelope was all the forms we will need to get our baby's visa while in China. All the forms were in Chinese and English, which was cool to see. It was also exciting to get a letter from China. Now we know for sure that they have our paperwork and we are in their system. That was reassuring. Otherwise, nothing much is happening.

Next month we will need to have our home study updated. That means the social worker has to come out again and visit with us. I was thinking that it was silly to update it so soon, how much could have changed in year? Then I thought about it and a lot has changed, David has a new position at St. Charles, I went back to work, Sam has a baby cousin now. I guess things have changed. Plus the social worker is really nice and it will be good to see her again. We do have to pay $600 to have the home study redone.

That is all for now. I will update more when I have more to update about. Thank you to everyone for keeping up with our progress and for supporting us. We appreciate all the prayers and well wishes.
