Six Months Ago Today...

...we received our referral for Yu Yan.

Six months of paperwork and home visits and paperwork and parenting classes and paperwork...

Six months of looking at her pictures and wondering how she is doing...

Six months of praying for her health, her safety, her emotional wellbeing...

Six months of wondering how she is going to react to this strange new family that will take her from everything she knows...

Six months ago we first saw our daughter's pictures and we fell in love.  Today our Article 5 was picked up and sent to the CCAA.

Six months after we received Yu Yan's file, we finally begin our wait for travel approval.  We're in the final stretch.  Not long now, little girl...  not long now...
