Notice

Through the examination of the basic condition of the adoptive family Wayne and Martha Mason and plan of treatment and rehabilitation for the child Ma Fang Zhou from Chengdu Children's Welfare Institute, Sichuan welfare institute, it is agreed that the adoption will be carried out through the procedure for adopting children of special needs after the submission of application documents of the adopters according to their wish.

This is the translated wording of our pre-approval to adopt Samuel. YIPEE!! I guess they like the plans we have for Sam. I am so grateful to our agency for advocating on our behalf, our family coordinator pours her heart into her work, and prayerfully put together a letter to send with our Letter of Intent and rehabilitation plan to promote us as the best candidate for Ma Fang Zhou.

After submission of our dossier they will review our complete file and then by God's grace issue Travel Approval. We hope to have our dossier complete by mid April and hope TA will come 3-4 months after that. Traveling mid to late summer looks possible. Crazy!

We are so grateful to all those who have been praying for us during this time. Please don't stop! I need constant patience and peace during this process. I need perseverance to keep up with the rest of life, homeschooling, training the little 2 year old chinese beauty, discipline to meet with God on a regular basis and to not spend too much time dwelling on the adoption.

God has been showing me so much lately how much he cares for me and my family. He is so faithful to meet us where we are and give us everything we need. All Glory to Him!
