Amazing News!!!

Today is a fantastic day!!!  We just received word from China that we have received PA (pre-approval) for our sweet Anna!  Basically the China Center for Children's Welfare and Adoption has reviewed our basic information and Nurture Plan (how we plan to care for Anna) and have given us the go ahead to move forward with the adoption of our daughter!  Not that there was ever any question... I knew from the moment I met her... she is our daughter!  I will say our nerves have been a little bit on high alert though.  Our approval took a little longer than normal.  NOT because of anything on our end, but related to one of many Chinese holidays.  This one just happened to be a week long!!  It is over now though.... and we are ready to move forward full steam ahead!! 

For those of you who followed along on our journey to bring Evie home, we are now beginning the dreaded paper chase!  Granted it won't be quite as bad as the first time around as we get to reuse or amend some things we prepared last time.  Regardless it will be lots of paperwork, appointments, trips to see my BFF at Fed Ex, document authentication, sleepless nights knowing China is at work, and so on.  Every single part of it will be so worth it in the end <3

I mentioned it on our facebook page, but feel like I should mention it here as well.  Fundraising makes us incredibly uncomfortable BUT is absolutely necessary to get Anna home.  Please have patience with us through this process and know if you feel lead to give it is appreciated more than you know!  We have cut back here as much as possible and are still looking for ways to cut expenses to help us save. 

We currently have a Santa Bag fundraiser running.  They are super cute and personalized!  We have an upcoming auction, a fun event during the month of November, and a puzzle fundraiser starting soon.  If anyone has any other ideas, or something you'd like to donate to the auction please contact me!

And prayers guys.... we need your prayers.  We feel them, we really do... and we know without a doubt God hears them.  Please keep them coming.

I am including our pure charity link (tax deductible) and paypal link (no fees to us if you send to friends and family).  We also have a GoFundMe account, but were less than pleased with the amount they charged on our first transfer.
