LOA

So we had a hold up in paperwork due to an age discrepancy in our referral age range.  We were approved for a child up to 18 months because that is what we had asked for.  When we got the referral, Zoe was 18 months old, but she will be almost 2 or a little over 2 when we travel to China to get her.  So we had to submit more paperwork to USCIS to approve adopting an older child.  Long story short, we were approved and everything will continue!  We got the supplement 3 approval in the mail last Friday and now our agency just sent out our papers for LOA.  That stands for Letter of Approval for Zoe to officially be matched with us on paper through China and then we wait for travel approval.  Our agency is estimating us traveling somewhere between December and March.  Big gap I know but we have to role with the punches and trust that God will have us travel to get her when it is his will.  I pray every day for Zoe in the meantime that the Lord would protect her and keep her safe and healthy until my mom and I can go get her.  Please join us in that prayer for her also!
