It's been a really long time since we posted anything on the blog but we have been quite busy. On April 13th we received a file (Adoption Terminology) and we were ecstatic. We reviewed everything and after prayerful consideration decided that we had found our little girl. Avery is to be her name and she is perfect. September 2nd she turned 3 and we will be going to China soon to get her. Most people would consider us nearing the end of our Adoption Journey but we consider it to be Just the Beginning. God has been so very faithful in every way. His timing has been perfect even though we didn't think so all of the time. A couple of weeks after we accepted Avery's file China gave their approval for us to adopt her. Then things started moving quickly. A few more weeks went by and some other hurdles were cleared and then we got our Travel Approval. We did have to delay for a little while to arrange for work stuff but soon she'll be in our arms.
God has been leading, comforting, and teaching the entire way and we are honored that He chose us to be Avery's parents. Matt and Eli are nervous to fly but excited to go see their little sister. I think Eli is especially excited because he now gets to be a Big Brother. We probably won't post anything anywhere but this blog until we're back home with her just for safety reasons. Thank You all for your prayers and keep them coming. We appreciate each and every one of you that have supported us physically, spiritually, and financially. God has used each of you to touch our lives and accomplish His will. The past 3 years have been a roller coaster but we know that God is in control of everything. We are just glad to be part of His plan.
