Urgent Prayers and help please


URGENT...


If you would please consider donating 10 dollars to our chip in account it would be so greatly appreciated. If you are in the process of adopting and are not traveling soon I would be happy to donate the money back to you when we return... most likely in January. Just do the chip in and write " also adopting"
we also have a magazine fundraiser ----->... easy to order your fav magazines and a portion will come back to Zoe..


The t shirts are great .... think about getting one. 20$ including shipping


ZOE WAS MOVED BACK TO HER ORPHANAGE..
Here is the message from her Foster Home supervisor
"XinHui cried as I hold her to down stairs, she cried for the nannies there, and even cried harder when we get on the taxi, then I talked with her, XinHui needed to get on the car, on the train and on the bus, to the orphanage to do passport and Mama will come to pick you home, she stopped at once and looked at me, said Mama come! I said Yes, your mama is coming to pick you up very soon. "


and yes I was in tears as I read it..

Please pass our chip in around. I am seriuosly desperate now. I am not even sure if it would be possible for me to delay the adoption since I will be close to the cut off for travel dates( 3mos from ta to travel) thanks for your consideration... Zoe's mama

I just learned that my travel approval for Zoe is here. They want me to fly out the 3rd of Nov... thats 2 weeks away... and meet Zoe on the 6th or 7th and then fly home before turkey day... This is almost a month sooner... Unless I have a miracle of sorts I will not be able to travel then... there would be 5 other families traveling from IAAP at that time...

LOA and pics from china

Great news!!! I rec'd phone call from Cheryl at IAAP saying that my LOA will be in my hands weds and then needs to go right back. It should only be a few weeks until TA and then we can plan flights....I just can not stop smiling and saying "we're going to China" all the while doing the cha cha or my version of it. Also I confirmed with our local paper that they want me to write a series documenting our adoption 10 or 12 weeks until we return with Lil Zoe. All in all a great day and I even got 4 hrs of sleep!!!
Here is a slide show of Zoe opening her gift from her family. Thanks to the wonderful Kelly Family for delivering the gift and all the photos.. Jade is one blessed child.
