Or perhaps Joy found us?
White board lists, searching the Bible, prayerful consideration, saying all the kid's names to see if one would "fit"...
Thank goodness we only had to come up with a first name.
Bob finally chose Joy MeiNi Peterson.
Isn't she sweet?
We received these pictures from China in May with an update of sorts.
Joy is five years old with an October birthday.
Our paperwork is enroute to the National Visa Center, then back to China for an Article 5. The Travel Approval from the Chinese government will come shortly after.
There is lots I could say about the process this time but I will save that for another day.
Welcome Miss Joy. We love you already.
She's beautiful! I'm sure she'll bring much joy to your family. And the joy you bring her will be immeasurable. Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI laughed at the "saying all the kid's names to see if one would "fit"..." because you gotta be able to rattle those all off to properly call the kids in for dinner, right! LOL!
