Ladybug luck....Is this is a sign????

This week was back to school for me - lots of meetings and never enough time to get everything done. Two new wonderful co-workers to work with makes this year even better! This week we received a letter to inform us our I800A form had been received and will take 10-14 days for processing and shipping! I also contacted our future pediatrician's office to set up an appointment to have our child(ren)'s records read when we receive them. Yesterday our principal brought in fresh cucumbers to give away and I made a delicious cucumber salad with balsamic vinegar for dinner. As we were eating a bug kept flying around us. It finally landed - right on top of my cucumbers - a lovely ladybug. We had to throw the cucumber salad away, but took this as a lucky sign referrals are on the way. Ladybug Luck what will you bring us? Our 7 year wait is coming closer to an end - But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Romans 8:25

Fed Ex delivers final application

This morning we finalized all of our paperwork for the I-800A to receive approval again to adopt our family from China. We will anxiously be awaiting the approval letter to take with us to China! Another item checked off the list - now we can sit back and wait for referral day!!! It has been exciting to read about the July referrals - a 5 month old baby girl, a surprise boy, and a beautiful 18 month old girl. What blessing does God have in store for us??? Jeremiah 29:11 sums it up best - "I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future." Bring on the future.... we are ready to be parents!
