Update!

Last week I contacted Ladybugs N Love which is a company who sends care packages, makes orphanage phone calls, etc for us waiting parents. Since I can't send a care package yet because we have not received official approval from China(that would be our RA-Referral approval)I decided to see if they would make an orphanage phone call for me. I was able to ask 10 questions and they would also ask for updated measurements and pictures. Of course, there is no guarantee that they could get anything for us. But they would try. Last night we recieved the most AMAZING email from them!! They got answers to all 10 of our questions, updated measurements, and 3 updated pictures!!! I ran outside to get Brian so we could open the email together but he was in the middle of something so it was another hour before he came in. I SO wish I could show his picture now. He looks absolutely amazing!!! Happy, healthy(underweight but healthy as can be it seems), and loved. And the most exciting part is that I found out that he is in the Half the Sky program at his orphanage!! What a blessing!! It was well worth the $40 it cost to do that!! I'm just praying that our RA comes quickly so we can go and get him!! These updates are good but makes it so hard too! Just trusting the Lord on his perfect timing!!!

  2. Oh I wish you could post pictures, but I'll be checking in until you can! We used the same service for an update on Caleb and I can't wait for that PA so that we can find out more about Darcy. The information we got was like water in a dry and weary land...

  4. That is so exciting! Lily was in a Half the Sky program and I think it made all the difference for her. What an answer to prayer! You will probably get awesome info on his first 2 years too-- pictures, developmental updates, etc. An indescribable gift!

  5. Hey Amy,

    I asked our agency and she said she'd give them a call to find out about LID.

    I can't wait to see pics of your guy! Oh and we have many things in common, our dates, the fact that both our daughters are from Anhui and our daughter and your son are in a HTS program!

    Too cool!
