Signs

When we received "the call" from CCAI, I immediately prayed that God's plan would become clear to us. We did not expect a referral so soon and I was really needing guidance, and yes, signs. We received the call on a Friday afternoon. On Saturday, following a conversation which ended with us not knowing what we were doing, I decided to take a break and nap with Bella. Within minutes of this conversation, my phone "dinged" to let me know I had been tagged in a picture on Facebook. I clicked on my Facebook app and I was tagged in a picture of this painting:


This painting is now hanging in my living room and I love it; adoption truly is a miracle.

Yesterday, Bella and I were outside playing on her swing set. (As of now its "her" swing set; soon it'll be "their" swing set.) On the cover of the swing set I found about a dozen ladybugs. In the Chinese adoption community, ladybugs are considered good luck. It gave me a little sense of peace that Baby Shawn's sweet spirit was with us as his big sister and I played on their swing set.



Unfortunately, we do not have any adoption updates. We are still waiting on our Letter of Acceptance to arrive. Our agency has warned us this could take anywhere from 3-4 months. As of today, its been 31 days since we were pre-approved to adopt Baby Shawn and 35 days since our dossier was logged in, in Ch*na. Who's counting though? :) God speed for a speedy LOA!
