Last night we started painting Grace's room. The color is beautiful! It is a Disney color called "Christopher Robin's Swing." It is a light shade of green. Her room will be accented with a pastel pink and splash of browns. I caught myself walking back in to her room at least 4 times before bed and twice this morning. The best part was I even caught Jeremy sneaking in there once or twice. It is all becoming so real now.
Today is the first day of THE month that we should be "DTC" and "LID." These are the adoption terms for dossier to China and log in date. To break this down...our dossier (important paperwork that China requires) will be sent to China. After they approve everything, they will log us in the "system" as parents able to adopt in China. There is a shared list with approximately 2000 children on this list each month. It is shared with the associated adoption agencies (i.e. Lifeline Children's Services- [our agency :)]) at the end of every month. Since we should be LID by the end of this month, we hope to receive a referral from our agency in March! So, this month is huge.
Specific prayers: 1- Thank God for blessing us with the ability to be on this path right now! 2- Thank God for the fabulous family and friends that love us and give us 100% support. Grace is so fortunate. 3- Pray for that sweet baby that is patiently waiting for a home. We are coming, angel! 4- Pray for families for all of her precious little friends in the orphanage with her. 5- Pray for DTC and LID to happen in FEB!!!!
Much love!
