It's official!!! China has given us approval to adopt a baby!!!!! We have successfully made it through the Review Room! This is where the China Center of Adoption Affairs (CCAA) looks through our dossier (mound of paperwork) with a fine tooth comb to see if we're fit to be parents. It's scary that they think we are! Now, in the past, the CCAA can still ask questions up to about two weeks after you're out of review, but I am NOT foreseeing any trouble! I refuse to worry about it! God has been SOOO good! Thanks for calling me Sarah with the GREAT news this morning! I'm glad you check those message boards so faithfully!!!
Now, the question on everyone's mind...does this mean Abby will be coming home faster??? Unfortunately, this doesn't affect that time frame. The Review Room is an entirely different department. So, basically, we go back on a shelf and wait. We're thinking about another 10-12 months. However, this is the BIGGEST hoop to jump through! The rest (renewals of expired things, traveling, etc) is all cake!
So send up a quick thank you God for us making it through the Review Room without any questions.
And to Abby....hold on baby, we're one step closer to bringing you HOME!!!!
Merry Christmas 2021

YAY! Thanks for the well wishes! I'm so stinking excited to be so stinking excited about something related to the adoption!! Ohh, is this an occasion to buy a coach diaper bag?????? Hehehe, shhhh, don't tell Tony!
WOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOO! Praise be to HIM for this! I am so excited and happy for you both on this! What wonderful news! I am so glad! God waited for the perfect time...knowing how badly you needed some good news! Praise Him, praise Him! I'm with you on the Coach bag...tell Tony that it would look wonderful sitting on the front seat of the Jag wagon!
CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so happy for you guys! I know that is probably a huge weight off you and now it's just the wait! However, with God's help the time will fly and you'll have her home before you know it! I will continue to pray for you guys and Abby!

Wow! Finally a bit of good news and just before vacation, now you can relax a little before school starts. Have fun and enjoy your time at your cabin, and hopefully next year Abby will be traveling with you.

Tony & Rett,
Congratulations! I am so happy China has approved you! You two will be the perfect parents!
Tony - I love Glenn Beck!! I was so excited to see you went to see him. I love his show! He is the smartest guy and he needs to run for President!
I like the car in the picture (the jag). You should get it.

AAAAHHHHH!!!! That is awesome!!! Praise God!!!
Wow! Yeah! What wonderful news for you. Having a Chinese governmental board approve your ability to become parents is absurd but obviously a necessary one to get this Abby girl home to her parents. This is such great news!! We are so excited for you both! God is sooooooo very good and so faithful!!!!! Congrats! Party time! Can I get a whoo-hoo? Sorry, we're just a little excited for you!
We think you should absolutely get the Coach diaper bag - you deserve it! (ok, I do, Jason didn't have a vote). Sorry, Tony. :)
