We have been so blessed this Holiday season!  All we wanted for Christmas was updates on our beautiful daughter Lulu.  We had not received anything new since the original videos, pictures and information they gave us in October, and our hearts were aching for news on Lulu's progress and health. On December 13th, we received the most glorious Christmas gift, new videos and a few pictures of our beautiful girl.  She is growing so much and her hair has gotten so long!   It made our hearts so full! 
We weren't expecting any other news about our dossier or LOA ( basically our official letter of acceptance from China that puts the next crazy steps and travel plans into motion). So we were shocked to get an email on the 20th from CCAI telling us our CCCWA review of our dossier was complete, and were told to expect our LOA in the next few weeks.  Well, imagine our total surprise when a short 3 days later we received word that our LOA had been issued.  So in 9-12 weeks we will be headed to China to pick up our beautiful girl!!  We now feel like we are running a sprint to the finish line with lots of crazy but good hurtles to jump over in the next few weeks.  Thank you all for your support, prayers, and donations.
