DTC! LOI! PTL! LOL!!! What a day...

I love this picture. How do we look? :)

Okay, for those of you non-China adoption types, let me explain. This was a BIG week for us and it has all been God's timing. DTC is Dossier To China-- we sent off our huge mountain of papers that says everything there is to say about us for our entire existences. Paperchase is DONE!!! Obviously, we will have more paperwork to file a bit later for immigration, but for now, a sigh of relief. LOI even more importantly is Letter of Intent-- we have written and sent in our letter and petition to adopt a sweet little girl. In short WE FOUND HER!! She was on our agency-specific list (something I have prayed for since the beginning-- the shared list is hard, as we found out with our last referral and this way, we had a LOT more time to decide) and we saw her for the first time last Friday. I can't give all the details until a little later down the line, but I can tell you, she is lovely and we simply cannot wait to meet her in about 6 months.

Thanks so much for all your prayers... keep em coming, we still have a lot to get through and a wait that right now looks really LOOOOOONNNNNG. In the meantime, all I can say is Hallelujah!
