Orphanage Pics and paper updates

I have finally found some pictures of where our new little one currently resides. Here are some very recent pics from her orphanage. I really hate to think about her in here and having to wait so long for us to come to get her. I can only hope and pray that she is loved on everyday. As you can see it does appear to be a nice and clean orphanage so I hope that she is being well taken care of. From her personal photos it appears that she doesn't miss a meal!

Please keep her in your prayers as she sits and waits for her family to bring her home.












I am already deep into the paper chase. I went to the courthouse today and was fingerprinted for the GBI and the FBI checks. I also obtained my Criminal Background check from the police station. So 2 more docs under my belt.
So in 3 paper chasing days I have managed to pull these docs together:

  • Letter of Intent (official letter to China with our request to adopt her)
  • Adoption Petition (official letter stating who and what we are about)
  • Both birth certificates
  • Marriage License
  • Medical letter for all 3 of my existing babies (stating they are in good health)
  • Septic Tank letter (yes, they even have to have certification that we have a working toilet!)
  • Floor Plan of our home (showing where she will sleep every night)
  • Medical insurance pre-existing exclusion letter (proof she will be covered from the minute we get her
  • My Criminal background check
  • Financial Statement (along with every supporting bank statement, W-2, etc to back it up)
  • Guardian Letter (stating that my wonderful sister/brother in law will take care of all FOUR of my kids in case-ya know)
  • Passport Copies
  • My employment verification letter
  • CJs employment verification letter
So yes I am busy busy busy getting things together again. We have scheduled our home study visit for Sunday afternoon. I am going to my doctor tomorrow morning for my medical physical tests. CJ doesn't have his medical until Monday morning. However, he is going in the morning to get his fingerprints and his criminal background check completed.

Sooooo...all of this is to get her out of these cribs and into our home where she belongs!! Here is the "baby room" at her orphanage now. I hear she is sharing a crib with another little one. Hopefully she will be sharing a bed with her sister sooner rather than later :)
