Our BIG Announcement! We are Adopting!

                                   This post has been waiting for over 365 days to be written.

                                                        We have a BIG announcement!

                                                 We are adopting a little girl from China!!

            So, how do I put into words all that we have been through this past year
 in getting our hearts ready to adopt.

 How do I put into words all of the emotions and questions we have walked through to get to this decision.
How do I share what God has been doing in our hearts?
  I am not sure how to put it all into words.

 I have been sitting here in my office thinking of the right words to allow you a glimpse into our hearts and minds.  
 The words to convey my heart to you escape me right now but we wanted to share the picture of our daughter that is waiting for us in China.

  We are overwhelmed that God would open up this door to us.

I will share much more about how our family was led to adoption and how God led us to this little one and asked us if we would be a part of His Great plan for her.

We have many more steps in this adoption process.  
        We have been through a Home Study and we have received PA which is Pre Approval from China to proceed with the adoption process.  
We have been waiting 20 long days for this Pre Approval and now that we have it we can officially share her picture!

For right now we are all thrilled to announce that we are adopting a little girl from China!

Love,
Lysa, Mark, Katie, Craig, Jonathan and Abigail
