We are 1 step close to bringing our baby home! Her file is now in the US and we have accepted her referral. We completed some paperwork to be sent to China with our intent to adopt her and once they grant us the pre-approval, I can officially introduce her! The adoption agency asked that we not publicly announce anything yet so I'll hold off on pictures until then. Many of you have asked how long it will be until she's home and we really don't know but are guessing it could take anywhere from 5-7 months.
Now, for the hard part...finances. This adoption will cost around $20,000. Ridiculously expensive??? You betcha. Worth every penny? Absolutely. Some very kind and loving friends have asked me to set up a paypal account so they could contribute to Jia Yu's adoption. If you feel a tugging on your heart and would like to join in this venture with us and help one more orphaned child be united with her forever family, we'd humbly accept your donation. Thank you.
If you could commit to pray for our family, we'd love that as well. If you just enjoy following our journey and rejoicing with us as we move forward, we'd also love that! Please do not feel obligated AT ALL. For those of you who know me well, you know I hate to ask for money and this is really uncomfortable for me, but I also want to acknowledge that there are some wonderful people out there who have orphans and/or children with Down syndrome on their hearts and want to use this as a way to minister to them. Thanks to you all for your continued support. We are so blessed.
