Today is the day! We at last received our LOA - Letter Of Approval - from China. This grants us permission to publically share his picture and send him a care package! We've been working on the care package for a few months now, and it still isn't finished... We're going to get that done this week. I can't wait. We've created a brag book of pictures of the family. We realized though that we used primarily pictures from Florida, so now we have to include some of snow! We don't want him to get the wrong idea. :)
OK, so here is Chazz Jian Long. He is 8 years old (4 months older than Hanna) and currently lives in the same orphanage that Hanna used to live in. They were friends, as they were part of the same group. We have many pictures of both of them together; however, the pictures and their friendship are more than 5 years old. Hanna will get to travel with us - mainly because we are traveling to her home town. We are hoping to get to see her sponsor family.
We are so thankful to God! Without Him, this would not have happened. He just kept whispering and we finally listened. Blessed for sure.
We definitely welcome your prayers. Prayers for paperwork to go thoroughly quickly and easily, prayers for speedy and safe travel, prayers for open and loving hearts, prayers for his transition to a family, prayers for our transition to him, prayers for Hanna when traveling, and prayers for the boys staying home.
Stayed tuned for more updates. We most likely won't get to travel until April, but I'm hoping for earlier. I feel like I've waited long enough - and these next three months are going to be killers!
Tonight we had Chinese for dinner- orange chicken! You'll never believe what my fortune cookie said... The object of your desire comes closer!
