LOA are three little letters that represent Letter of Acceptance. This means that China approved us to adopt our sweet little girl. Our agency believes that we could travel within 2-3 months! Wow! That is a whole lot faster than we expected - Praise the Lord for His favor!
And, the announcement, we all have been waiting for......A name for our sweet girl. We have decided to name her Zoe Jan. Zoe means, "life" and Jan means, "God is gracious". Her life is truly a gracious gift of God to our family. We are so very blessed my her already!
We are asking for your prayers as we begin the final stages of this adoption process. Because of the speed at which the last step went, we are over whelmed with paperwork we thought we had 2 months to complete. All our "deadlines" moved up 2 months over night! This is very rare and we believe it to be God's favor. We are continuing to pray for God's favor and provision. This will not happen without Him. We believe this is a calling He has placed on our lives, and where He leads, He will provide. As we look back over the portion of the process we have completed, we can see God's fingerprints on every moment. May every one of our weaknesses point to His Strength, and may He receive all glory and honor from every breath we take.
If you have a heart for adoption and feel the Lord leading you to partner with adopting families, here is a link to a nonprofit organization that we have partnered with for a grant for our adoption.
