WE GOT IT!!! We FINALLY Got It!!


What is it, you ask? Well....it's our Letter of Seeking Confirmation from Adoptor. This is the paper we have to sign saying that we accept the referral for Lily Mei. It basically says that Liang, Xiao Long has been assigned to us by the China Center of Adoption Affairs. We had to check to box "yes, we accept" or "no, we do not accept". Uhm...wonder which one we chose??? All we need now is Travel Approval and we are on our way!!! Yippee! Mrs. Pat thinks we will travel the second week of June! Oh My! So much to do, so little time!!

We were on our way to the beach for a weekend get-away and had to turn around to get the cell phone charger. When Steve walked in the house, Children of the World was on the Caller ID. He came running out to tell me and his cell phone started ringing. Mrs. Pat was calling to tell us the DHL man had just left our letter! We were jumping up and down and I, of course, was crying! I think our boys and the neighbors thought we had finally lost it! Anyway, we told Mrs. Pat we were on our way to the Gulf and she said if we could make it to her office before 5:00, she could have it right back in the mail and the CCAA would have it before they shut down this week for Labor Holiday. Well, needless to say, we made it with time to spare!!

So after much worry, tears and prayers, we finally know that she is really ours and we will be bringing her home soon, very very soon! Oh I just can't believe it!! Thank you Lord for answering my prayers. Hang on Lily Mei....Momma's coming!

Monica, I am so incredibly happy for you, I knew you wouldn't be far behind us! We get Acer on Mother's day, here's praying you get Lily Mei on Father's day! (okay, I wouldn't mind a little before that, you'll still have her for Father's day)
