Praying and Preparing

Megan doesn't yet have an American passport, but she will need one before we travel to China to get her new sister. We took this shot while trying to get Megan's passport photo, and I just thought it was too cute not to post. She looks so big!
We're preparing for our trip to China which could be a year and a half away, but could be sooner--God willing. We should be DTC (dossier on it's way to China) this Thursday!!!

We're praying that God will bring us together with our new daughter just as quickly as He'll allow, and that the process to adopt from China will miraculously speed up. We're also still praying about her name but leaning toward Jaden Renee. Jaden is Hebrew for "God has heard," and Renee is Latin/French for "reborn/born again."
Our hearts have already begun to ache for our little one that we haven't yet met. Please join us in praying for her protection and care while we wait.

In His Grip,

Holly

Congratulations guys! DTC! Whooo-hooo! We're praying for your family, for God to pave the way for you to get your daughter as quickly as He will allow and for His protection over all of you as you wait.

Blessings on your journey!
