Fingerprinting completed

Hello,

Today Kirk and I went to Downtown Detroit to get our fingerprints taken. Altogether it took about an hour, so it wasn't too bad. Thank you for your prayers as neither of us had any cuts, blisters or anything that would prohibit the printing! Now we just need to pray that they were taken correctly and won't require being redone. :) This is the final thing we needed to do so the I171H could be processed. We are still praying for a miracle and asking the Lord to turn it around in the next couple of weeks! HIS timing is perfect!

Thank you for your prayers! Hopefully, next time I post it will be because our I171H came back and our paperwork is soon off to China!

Fingerprint appointments!

Hello everyone!

Yesterday, we received our fingerprint appointments for August 11! Just one step closer to getting our I-171H!:)

On The Chase

Hello friends and family,

Well, we are part way through the paperchase to Lilly's Mei-Mei. Almost all of our documents have been notarized and will soon be taken to Detroit for certification. Our homestudy is complete and now we wait for the coveted I-171H. Please pray that MI will turn this document around quickly!

In June 2006, we traveled to Washington DC for our agency's National Reunion. We had a wonderful time reuniting with our travel family (picture is posted above). What a blessing to see how the girls have grown and changed! It was an amazing time and Lilly just loved being around her "Zhangjing Sisters" again. We sometimes wonder if they remembered each other. All the girls got along so well. That's it for news for now. We'll keep you posted!

Journey #2 Begins

Thank you for joining us on our second trip to China! We are thrilled that the Lord has once again called us to go back to China and bring home Lilly's Mei-Mei (little sister). We are in the very early stages of the paperchase and have no idea how long the process will take. However, we anticipate traveling some time in 2008. We are resting in the Lord's perfect timing and trust that HE will bring us to China when daughter #2 is ready to come home to her forever family. We certainly do appreciate your prayers as we begin another wonderful journey!
