Well, kind of!!! After all the RUSH to get our FINAL Dossier to GWCA, we found out that we had two documents that needed to be re-done and I had forgotten to add the original passport photo's!! However, it again is God's Plan...turns out that if we had sent our Dossier in this Friday, we would have had to pay the FULL price going the Non-Special Needs route. We had in fact chosen Makayla, but China still needs to send us the Pre-Approval letter and say YES to that. Once that happens, which takes about two weeks, we can then be matched with Makayla and it will be the Waiting Child route. That route is about $400 dollars cheaper, not that that is a big deal, but that will be $400 towards the orphanage donation instead! So, we will wait the two weeks for the Pre-Approval letter and then send in the Dossier. Thank you Lord!!! It seems so confusing when you hear about it, but when you actually experience it, it all makes so much more sense!!! I did get all the new documents in the mail to Jessa by 2:00pm, so she should receive them this week. WHEW!!!!
What else happened today you ask?!?! We went to our church and picked up our Letter of Recommendation from our very own Pastor Cathy!!! We just love her and I am so honored she would write this letter for us and then get her picture taken! She will forever be a part of our adoption process and that just makes my heart smile. She is more than just a Pastor to me, she is my sister and friend! Thanks Cathy!!!
Well, that is your NEWEST update for today and we will continue to pray for grants and wait for China to send our Pre-Approval letter. I can't believe it has almost been a week since we said "YES" to our Makayla!!!
Have a wonderful evening!
The Sweeney's
