UPDATE!!!

Well, today I checked my email to find an update on our sweet Anna, with a picture!! So excited!! I was going to update on everything that we've been doing but this just trumps that all right now. :) Here she is:

I can't stop looking at her!! We also got new measurements and she is growing so we are very thankful for that. I love her smile and chubby cheeks and chubby little hands! Please continue to pray for her and her health, that she may stay healthy. oh my heart. 

As for the boring part :), since my last post we have received our marriage cert back from D.C, we have sent that along with all the required pics of us, copies of our naturalization cert, original Dr. letter, copies of our passports, and a cheque to our adoption agency. Here is some pics of what we all sent: 

All this is part of our Dossier, which is what will be sent to China when it is completed.  So we need two more things before it's completed. Our home study agency has sent off our home study report along with our I800A application ( we are applying to be approved to adopt from a foreign country) to the USCIS office in Seattle. They did this on April 7th. We now wait to hear from them for a date to go there (Seattle) to get fingerprinted. After that we will get approval. Then the approval and our home study report have to be notarized, certified and authenticated. Then we send it to our placing agency and that will complete our Dossier. :) So back to checking the mail everyday. The timing with everything has been very God sent. We were away for two weeks and everything got done by us that needed to get done, so we could relax and not worry about falling behind in anything. Every day is precious!! 

Well that's it for now. Thanks for following along and for all your prayers so far. We do appreciate it! And how wonderful for Anna in years to come, to know that so many people were praying for her safe keeping.
