The response to my last post was so unbelievable... I was so blessed and so encouraged. This adoption community is just awesome! On the other hand, I have heard a lot of really hard news for a lot of wonderful people related to their adoptions and I am going to ask that you remember all these folks in your prayers. And if you happen to be one of those people, count on being lifted up from little ol' me!
Well, we sent off that big huge envelope that sums up who we are and what exactly we're doing and why-- almost our entire dossier-- to the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco today. This is the last step before heading back to our agency and then off to China! We are so close. One explanation for what happened last week that I think is very feasible (and probably what happened) was that the little one we locked required that you have your dossier already logged in. In order to do this, a bit of fudging was done (obviously a bad idea, but they learned a valuable lesson), CCAA may have found out and hence we lost the referral. That is why I have really been feeling strongly that we just need to GET THIS DONE and get ourselves logged in, already!! Samuel and Timothy were VERY confused about what happened last week-- Timothy said to me at one point, "Want to go to China's house and get mei mei?" Of course, my little friend, soon I hope.

AWWWWWW.... Tim-Tim.
WOOHOO! Awesome that they are at TECO!!! You say TECO San Fran? That was my TECO... awesome people there! Congratulations!! I love ya dear... hope you continue to feel a little better. Know I'm thinking about ya. You know... I think I may have to send you some Tim-Tams... seriously yummy Australian chocolate bar and I bet Timothy would love having his name on chocolate. I don't know of any Sam chocolate though. :0( Anyways, just hoping your LID is real soon.
That's so sweet that the boys understand, but also heartbreaking to explain. . .Peyton still talks about Morgan. Keep us posted on getting logged in. Sounds like that's the right plan - I think you were spot on about the dossier not being logged in at the time of referral. CCAA is pretty strict. Hang in there - you're making progress. Hope your heart is healing from the ordeal. . .
Courtney, I apologize greatly for not staying in touch with you. I am sorry about your loss. I know you are still grieving. Truly, I can only imagine. I have had two miscarriages and when our Father takes them home early, it is nothing I can explain.
I will be praying for God to reveal your child to you so very soon.

Wow hon... I don't know how I missed your miscarriage post. I am so sorry for what happened to your family of recent. David and I have been there both physically and in the adoption world a couple of times and it stinks! It is so hard to understand and to deal with. But as you know, God has His timing and a perfect for you child in waiting somewhere. I am glad that you have gotten the necessary papers in now though and hopefully this will keep you safe this next time around. I totally understand your pain and where your heart and mind had to be for a while. I am so proud of you for getting back on the horse again so to speak and pursuing what your heart knows and longs for, your child! Keep looking up and giving every step to God, even when "people" get in the way.
