We are officially MATCHED!!!!

We finally received the amazing news that we are matched by the CCCWA!!!!  That means that he is ours and we can start the process to go get our boy!

I can't describe how my heart physically hurts to not be able to hold him.  Pray for a quick and smooth process so we are boarding a plane to China very soon.  His adorable but serious face needs to smile!

Okay God...you've got this.

If you have talked to me in the past few months I have more than likely complained about the set back of having to do a Home Study Update.  The update set us back several months and my impatient self just could not handle it!  Well, again, God showed me that He knows a bit more than I do.  To be matched with a child, you have to be dossier ready.  So because we were not dossier ready we have not be able to be matched.  Our agency typically works with an orphanage for 2 weeks.  In those two weeks they try to match children to dossier ready families.  We became Dossier ready the same day that our agency took over our son's file.  How amazing is that?!  

Tonight, our dossier is heading to Beijing, then CCCWA will issued our Log In Date.  Once this takes place, Leta can formally submit our request to match our son to our family.

We are getting closer!!

Best email ever...

Today I received a call followed by an email with the most amazing news.  We have a potential match!

I opened my email and was in awe of this precious boy.  I immediately took a picture with my phone to send to Jeremy.

I just knew that I was looking at my boy.  It is amazing how you can feel so much love for someone that you've never met.  

We have to go through the motions of having a doctor review his file but I know that it doesn't matter what they say because this precious baby is our son.
