Amazing Blessings!

We received a letter today from Shaohannah's Hope (click on picture above to go to their website). We applied for a grant with them back in May. We were awarded an amazing amount from them! We are so blessed to have this help as we gather the funds we will need to bring our girl home. We feel so honored to have been given this grant. Thank you, Shaohannah's Hope!

We have also been awarded a matching grant from LifeSong (click logo to go to their website). We have sent out letters to our family and friends. We will hopefully meet the maximum amount that they will match by Sept. 12--we had over half when I called to check our status 2 weeks ago. This was our first blessing, we found out about this at the end of July.

It is so affirming to receive these grants. We truly stepped out in faith to proceed with this adoption, and God is truly sending the money our way. How overwhelming to feel His hand as we get closer to bringing our girl home.

We should be DTC by the end of next week! I cannot wait to have all those papers out of my hands and on their way to China. As soon as we get our I-797C back from the Chinese Consulate in Chicago (hopefully Tuesday or Wednesday) we will be sending it all to our agency. Hooray!
