Now we wait for a letter of approval from China, it can take a up to 2.5 months but lately some have been getting them a lot faster than that. Praying for this approval to come quickly, We're hoping to travel in March at the latest. As soon as we get that approval we can share pictures of Gabriel. I can't wait for that!
While we were at church this weekend, which was amazing because the Katina's were there doing worship and they played Oceans, one of my favorites, I feel like it's my adoption theme song. If you don't know about the Katina's you should seriously check them out. Anyway, Abby and Caleb filled out the little cards they give out for prayer requests and praise reports, I could not find where to turn them in so i'll share here so you all can pray.
Caleb's praise report: Praise for having the chance to adopt a brother from China.
Caleb's prayer request: Dear God, I pray my brother, mom, and dad make it home from China.
Abby's prayer request #1: I pray for my mom and dad to have a safe flight to and from China with our adopted brother Gabe.
Abby's prayer request #2: I pray for Gabe to be able to have a painless surgery to see for the first time.
Please pray for our kids, I know they're anxious about us being away for two weeks. Maybe even as anxious as I am about leaving them for so long. It's going to be hard on all of us.
*A couple of things have been brought to my attention that I want to clarify:
1. DTC- This means dossier to China, stay tuned for a full list of adoption acronyms in the next post.
2. Gabe is not scheduled to have surgery on his eyes, we won't know until he's home and sees a specialist if surgery is even an option. We are not expecting that it will be, but you never know.
Thanks for following our journey.
