Finally! An adoption update!

We've decided to go the China Special Needs route, which means a lot of paperwork and research. The checklist of special needs is a bit overwhelming (70+ conditions to check 'yes', 'no' or 'maybe') and more than a little bit scary. I did discover an uplifting blog recently, though, which served as a great reminder that God will give us the grace and ability to care for the child He wants us to have.


The agency we're using is based in Pennsylvania and they have a wonderful sister agency that has homes in China, with those children living under a sponsorship program. 

I'm not sure of a timeline, but in a way, we're ahead of the game by already having done the homestudy and having compiled a dossier before (which is our next step, once we pay our contract fee--yay! more paperwork!), so we've got experience and photos.

We'll see where the journey leads this time!
