Great, fantastic, awesome news today on the adoption front.

US Immigration has given us their stamp

of approval to adopt Jenna Mei.

This is a huge step.

We now are approved by both countries.

Phew!

Next, the agency will double check we have

everything for our dossier

(huge stack of paperwork)

and then it's DTC, baby!

(dossier to China)

Then, our LID.

(log in date when China receives our dossier)

Then, we get to wait until China approves our dossier.

Hopefully, that won't take long.

We're still praying to travel late summer/early fall.

And,

tomorrow is our big fundraiser for this adoption.

We've never done fundraising before,

but we felt this was the right thing to do this time.

You should see the warehouse...oh, my...

The community has come out in a HUGE way!

We have so much stuff...computers, tvs, 3-wheeler,

lawn mowers, toys, clothes, decorations,

dishes, generators (new!), collectibles,

baby "equipment," antiques...

It's all I can do to not "buy" some of this stuff.

But, like I told my kids, if we're meant to have it,

it will be there tomorrow when our sale is finished.

We're praying for a lot of shoppers...

we have a lot of stuff!

Not only has the community donated a great deal,

we've had friends making signs, organizing food,

setting up for the sale, etc.

And we have quite a few friends coming tomorrow

that have offered to work wherever they're

needed.

It is so cool to see a community pull together

for such a great cause.

I can't wait to post on how it all goes tomorrow.

OK....back to work!!
