Well I just got back from the Adoption Agency and we have officially done all the paper work for our adoption. We've finished the homestudy (with the social worker) and done all the other paper work that China needs. Next steps are sending everything to Victoria to be approved and then off to be translated into Mandarin and then off to China. The next time I update you on our adoption journey will be to tell you that we are officially in the "lineup" in China and just waiting for the next available baby.
So we're still looking at 12-13 months from now until we travel to China but all of our paperwork is done. It's just a waiting game from here on in.
Wanda's gone to her mom's for a week for another "Scrapbook Bender" as I call it So I'm batching it for a few days. Looking forward to a visit from my friend Phil. Love you all.

This is very exciting and we are so happy for you! Does this mean that you are officially expecting? Squeeeeeeeee!
How fantastic! It must feel good to have completed the paper-filling stage...and be that much closer to the dream! Very, very stoked for you. And thrilled to see you next weekend!! It will be fun. We'd NEVER not show up while being in the same city, you know.

That's so awesome guys! I would say you are now expecting your first child! Congrats! We can't wait to hear more updates! We miss you!
Hey that's great news! Congratulations, and may all the red tape melt away!
Trevor & I are so excited for you guys. We think you will be awesome parents & you totally deserve a baby of your own...
Love, Trevor & Ginny Kempner
Congratulations on going the adoption route. I was wondering why there was no mention of adopting a Canadian child. Aren't there orphans in this country that could use a good home? Just a question and nothing more.
We actually have made our homestudy available locally as well so it will be whatever comes up first but locally it usually takes between 2-4 years wheras with China we know that in roughly 12 months we will be going to China to pick up our baby.
Plus we have some great Christian Asian role models in our life right now as well as the fact that we live in the most Asian city in Canada and 1 block from Chinatown.
