T Shirts and LID

Good news abounds! We were LID (log in date) 10/21/2010; 8 days after DTC. The T-shirts are in and most are delivered or in the hands of the US Postal Service. They turned out very nice. I am hoping to need to place another order.
I am praying that Madison is feeling loved. We are hoping that she will receive the gift package we sent with the photo book.
The waiting seems to be getting more difficult as the process moves along. I am guessing that this is normal. It is hard to know that you have a child half a world away and cannot kiss or care for her. All in God's perfect timing I keep reminding myself.

DTC (dossier to China, i.e. our paperbaby)

We are officially DTC! I am praying for the quickest of possible turn around on all processes and paperwork. I am sure I am not the only waiting parent praying for that. I am also praying that we will have Madison in our arms in February and no later.....I certainly wouldn't complain about sooner! We would love to have the prayers of others to help us along the way. The support we have already received is unbelievable. We are so very blessed!

This will be on it's way to Madison along with some gifts for her and the other children in her orphanage shortly. :)

Dear Madison

Dear Madison,

Hi Madison. This is Mommy. I know you don't know me yet. You don't even know you have a family yet; but you do and we love you very much. We cannot wait to meet you. You have a wonderful Daddy and two very sweet (most of the time) brothers.
We are praying for you every day. I hope that you have lots of friends and wonderful, loving nannies. I know it will be scary coming home with us. We will look different than you, talk different than you but we promise to love you. I think you may bond with your brothers before Daddy or myself and that is okay. We will be very patient. We are learning patience now as we are at the mercy of many government agencies in getting you home. God is teaching us many lessons through you and we have yet to hold you in our arms.
Thank you ,our precious Madison, for teaching us what is truly important in life.

Mommy loves you and am yearning for the night when I can tuck you in your bed, say your bedtime prayers with you and kiss your angelic face.

All of my love my Dear Princess Madison.....

Mommy

Men

Where O' Where are the MEN????

 The T shirt sales are going great; amongst the ladies! I need to sell to some nice gentlemen now.....
Here's praying that I can get about 10-15 more by Monday so that I can place the order for both the ladies and gentlemen.


An update on our process....we were approved for an extension to be dossier to China until 10/25. I am praying it is there long before that though! We are just waiting on our I800a to come back from the Chinese consulate and then off our dossier (paper baby) goes to CHINA! Yeah!!!
